(a) Solve the single linear equation 0.00021x = 1 for x.

(b) Suppose your calculator can carry only four decimal places. The equation will be rounded to 0.0002x = 1. Solve this equation.

The difference between the answers in parts (a) and (b) can be thought of as the effect of an error of 0.00001 on the solution of the given equation.
