Code:

Let a = b

So a-b =0 (bringing b on the left side)

Multiply LHS by 2
the result would be

2a-2b=0

Since a-b=0

replace 0 with a-b

i.e. 2a-2b = a-b

nest step
2(a-B) = a-b

Divide both sides by a-b

2(a-B)/(a-B) = (a-B)/(a-B)

final result

2=1

Haha, I have seen that some where, usualy it is 0=1, but it works anyway..

lmao, the sad part is i get the logic behind all of that thanks to this algebra class i am in :lol:

Yes! 1 does equal 2 after all! Perhaps I havent failed those last tests I took! ;)

Except for the obviously flawed reasoning: 2 ( a-b ) only equals ( a-b ) in one particular case - when a-b=0! The above treats 2x=x as if it were an identity!
