edit::

a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b) <----cant divide by zero here
a + b = b
2b = b
2 = 1 <--- so 2 != 1


what do u guys think?

(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)
a + b = b
2b = b
2 = 1


what do u guys think?

"(a - b)(a + b) = b(a - b)
a + b = b"

That's a no-no 🙂

That you should take intro to algebra again

it stops at "a-b" because you get zero.

I think I'm confused. And sure you made an error somewhere.

You can't divide by zero which is what a-b is. Thank you...come again.

Because a-b is 0 (Just felt I needed to add that.

yup, he's right. can't divide by 0
