View full question & answer→We have, three equations $u \times v = u x \times w = w u + x = w$ and $u = -4$
$a.$ By puting the value of $u$ in $Eq.(i),$ we get $(-4) \times v = (-4)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\frac{(-4)}{(-4)}=1$
$b.$ From $Eq.(ii),$ $\text{x}\times\text{w}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{w}}{\text{w}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1$
But,
$\text{x}\neq1$
Hence, $x \times w = w, (ii)$ is possible, when $\text{w}=0(\text{x}\neq1)$
$c.$ From $Eq.(iii), u + x = w$
Put $u =$ and $w = 0$, we get
$\Rightarrow -4 + x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 4$
$\therefore v = 1, x = 4$ and $w = 0$
