๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

  • ๐Ÿง A contradiction equation is an equation that is always false, regardless of the value of the variable.
  • ๐Ÿงฎ When solving a contradiction equation, you'll often find that the variable cancels out, leaving you with a false statement.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Examples of false statements include: $5 = 7$, $0 = 1$, or $-2 = 2$.
  • ๐Ÿ’ก The solution set for a contradiction equation is the empty set, denoted by $\emptyset$ or $\{ \}$.
  • โž— Common steps to identify a contradiction equation involve simplifying both sides of the equation and observing if a false statement arises.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Remember to distribute, combine like terms, and isolate the variable when solving equations.
  • ๐Ÿง  If you end up with a statement like $a = b$ where $a$ and $b$ are different numbers, you have a contradiction.
