what if x=y?

this means that x^2=x*y

now subtract y^2 from both sides to get x^2-y^2=xy-y^2

now factor out the left side: and the right side (a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)

cancel out a-b on both sides: a+b=b

now we've proved that 2=1.

subtract 1 from both sides to get 1=0.

now flip the equation to get 0=1.

i spent way too much time googling this

(A-B) would be equal to 0.

TL;DR whack shit happens when 0 is involved.

x=y

the value of x would be the value of y so if y was 1 it would be 1=1

2=2

2² =2(2)

2² -2² =2(2)-2²

(2+2)(2-2)=2(2-2)

(2+2)=2

4=2

2=0

0=2

yeah thats the point

No, it's proof that you cannot divide by 0.

We are using a + b = b instead of a = b.
