x cant be both values at the same time, not under what most people consider to be math. Feel free to write your own logical system and see where that takes you, though.

I think the only “solution” that works is addition/subtraction under mod 4 (or mod 2 I suppose) like another poster suggested. Then we’d have:

X + 2 = x - 2

X + 4 = x (Add 2 to both sides)

X + 0 = x (4 = 0 mod 4)

X = x (True for all x)
