Remember basic maths from high school.​

 

[McGee's Ewe]

4(4-3-1)= 5(4-3-1)
(4-3-1)=0
4(0)= 5(0)
0=0

(4-3-1)=0
Cannot divide by zero, therefore (4-3-1)/(4-3-1) cannot be balanced out to become 1 as implied.

 

[DonnaSherlock]

0 = 0

 

[meighLeigh]

Anything multiplied by 0 = 0. Simple.
4(4-3-1) = 4x0 =0

4(4-3-1)= 5(4-3-1)
(4-3-1)=0
4(0)= 5(0)
0=0

(4-3-1)=0
Cannot divide by zero, therefore (4-3-1)/(4-3-1) cannot be balanced out to become 1 as implied.

Where in the equation is a division?

 

[sylfield]

Agree, the equation in the brackets equals 0 and any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. Therefore, 0=0

 

[Reet]

I can't see where the 5 comes in.

 

[Wandiwa]

I can't see where the 5 comes in.

Factorisation ... left hand side has each number divided by 4 .... right hand side everything is divided by 5. these factors are placed outside the brackets.

 

[Wandiwa]

Well done everyone ... your high school maths has not been forgotten.

 

[HelenB55]

I didn’t even attempt this one.
I’m still upset over the Vegemite story

 

[Mikeyboy2012]

Nothing to see here... Absolutely Zero

 

[Miss Chris]

I haven’t got a clue what that’s supposed to be…..I’m really old school , schooles in Scotland maaaaaaaaaany years ago

 

[McGee's Ewe]

Anything multiplied by 0 = 0. Simple.
4(4-3-1) = 4x0 =0

Where in the equation is a division?

Division is part of the factorization process. (4-3-1) has been crossed out because of division that has occured in the process not shown.
