No solution because if you cancel out the 'x's you'll get 1=0 which is simply not possible.

I think it is indeterminate form since it will be in the form of $$\dfrac{1}{0}$$ .

The answer is $$x \in C$$ ,where C is the set of Complex numbers .

I don't get which complex number will satisfy the above equation.

But I think the above equation is satisfied as $$x\to\infty$$.

Enter an Complex number in place of x , 1=0 . The constant=constant equality still holds .

I think this kind of equality is used in solving questions based on Inequalities .
