1)Below u , v , w and x represent different integers , where u = -4 and x is no equal to 1 . By using the following equations , find each of the values :
u * v = u
x * w = w
u + x = w
a) v
b)w
c)x
Explain your reasoning using the properties of integers .
Here , given;
Now considering the first equation , we have;
Considering the second equation, we have;
{Although it is mentioned in the question that x is not equal to 1}
Considering third equation, we have;
