It's simply extraneous, or has an imaginary answer.

find X and add 1 to it 

yeah if you don't know what X is, then this equation makes no sense.

The purpose of the equation is to find X.

Like:
x-3=5
+3    +3
x=8

Well, let's see. I'm replacing X for 3.
3=3+1
Maybe the first 3 is a variable for the next greatest number. I doubt that though.

Infinity/1 * 1/Infinity = 1 AND = Infinity
^that's a fraction
Infinity/1 * 2/Infinity = 2 = Infinity
1 = Infinity
2 = Infinity
1 = 2

This means that math is undefined. All science is based off of math. Life is an illusion.

(infinity/infinity) is not equal to infinity.

(infinity/1) * (2/infinity) is not equal to 2.

Check your math.

This is definitely not true.

Code:

 x= x+1
-x -x
 0=   1

well thats what i said
but you presented it nicer

so thanks i guess

Well lets rearrange the equation.

x = x + 1
Eliminate the x'es (One on each side so we can do it)

0 = 1

On another note 0 does = 1

0 * 0 = 1 * 0
Eliminate one zero from each side

0 = 1

For the first equation the only thing I can think of that would fit would be infinity and to even get into any of these situations you have to divide by zero. Even if it is 0/0.

X=X+1. How can a number equal itself plus 1? Would this be the formula for infinity?

That gives you 0=1, so the solution for X is a null (empty) set. Simple.

But, no, it wouldn't be the "formula" for infinity, because then you can manipulate it to do all sorts of weird things.

Now, another question.

1/0

Could THAT be the "formula" for infinity?

No, because 0 * infinity is equal to 0.  It's not possible for zero to be fit into a 1.

Because, after all, division is simply how many times a number fits into another.  0 never fits into a number, ever. 

Technically not even 0/0 works, because inversely, that is equal to literally every number ever, and therefor undefined. Any number besides 0 is just undefined.

OR...

Code:

0=1
0^0=1^0
undefined=undefined

Zero is weird, isn't it...

1^0 still equals 1. Ninja'd  \/

On an unrelated note to the above:

My assumption on 0 divided by 0 wrote:

0/0 = every number in existence ∴= undefined.

set x=0  and  second x = 1

x = x-1
0= 1-1
0 = 0

This just proves that nothing is impossible :cool:

EDIT: I didn't know people still Ninja'd :o

But x is always the same value.  It would have to be X=Y-1, which is a valid function.

I was just kidding lol.

I guess it has to be infinity because:
∞=∞+1 so x=∞
But it doesn't really count since ∞ isn't actually a number.
