By the commutative property of multiplication: 2 + 2x4 = 2 + 24x Rearranging this leads to: x = -1/12 which means that x is the limit of the diverging series: x = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago* (1 child) Wouldnt 2x4 actually equate to 2 * 4 * x not 24 * x? So it would be 8x? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago Regular multiplication? Sure. But this is Rustydrd multiplication, which assigns different values to products I don't like. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 8 months ago x=4/7 permalink fedilink source parent
