| SuperMarioWorld said: oops i'm sorry i meant -1/8. your proof only applies to postive numbers therefore has many holes in your logic. However i was mistaken it would only work with positive integers. cheers for that |
yeah, no
| x = -1/8 | given |
| 10x = -10/8 | multiply by 10 |
| 9x = -9/8 | subtract x |
| x = -1/8 | divide by 9 |
| -1/8 = -1/8 | substitution |
try again, and please: check before you do so.
BTW, 1/8 is not a positive integer.
