If a,b, and c are real numbers and ac=bc, then a=b Find a counter example for this?

a=5


b=3,647,256,549


c=0





5*0 = 3,647,256,549*0





5 != 3,647,256,549

If a,b, and c are real numbers and ac=bc, then a=b Find a counter example for this?
C=a duhh
Reply:If c=0 a and b can be anything since 0xa=0 and 0xb=0
Reply:Let c = 0. Then pick two different numbers for a and b.
Reply:Your question implies division by c and zero is the only real number by which it is forbidden to divide by. So c=0 is the ONLY counterexample.
Reply:5 * 0 = 6 * 0
Reply:if c=0, then ac=bc but a does not necessarily equal b.
Reply:When c=0, then ac=bc is true even if a doesn't equal b.
Reply:Let (x) (4) = (y)(4)


Now divide both side by common number both side i.e. by 4


x=y
Reply:i dont even understand the question!!!
Reply:Let c = 0, then a and b can be anything
