Evaluate
x6>0
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always 0,the statement is true for any value of x,except when x6=0
x6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0
Exclude the impossible values of x
x=0
{x=0x6=0
The only way a power can not be 0 is when the base not equals 0
