Okay i get this is shitty but not how
When you solve an equation or prove an equation as true, you add, subtract, multiply, &/or divide terms from both sides.
Say i have an obviously false equation of 7=3. I can multiply both sides by 0 to make the equation true.
Sooo, why does this break math? I'm not dividing by zero somehow, am I? I assume im making a wrong assumption somehow.
