Why Can't You Divide By 0?

If we divide by 0, then the answer is "undefined"
We can't distribute 30 books among 0 people because there are no people to distribute to
That is why 30/0 is undefined
No number can be plugged in for 'x' to make 5 = 0 • x a true statement

1. If we try to divide anything into nothing, or divide something into 0 parts, then it makes no sense
1. If we try to divide anything into nothing, or divide something into 0 parts, then it makes no sense
2. Since it makes no sense, we can't get an numerical answer from dividing by 0
1. Does this question make sense? No, we cannot give 0 people anything
1. 30 algebra books are being distributed (divided) evenly amongst 0 people
1. So that's why our answer is "undefined"
1. 'x' is a variable
2. If 'x' can be anything, what can it be to make 0 • x = 5?
1. No number works to make 0 • x = 5
1. Dividing by 0 never leads to anything good!

Why can't my denominator be equal to 0?
