*shrug*

Presume that it is a divide by zero problem. False proofs.

That line is fine it is essentially

b^2 - b^2 = b^2 - b^2

 

[frostedflakes]

Yeah, you lost me at the third line.

Still fail after the edit.

I'm saying it doesn't follow from his second line.

I'm really confused now.

Are you bing(tm) sarcastic in the op or not?

subtract b^2 from both sides and then do a substitution of b^2 -> a^2 on the right

 

[Taejin]

you are dividing by zero. which is bad.

so 1 != 2

How does b = a + b if a = b?

That only works if it a = 0

You could have infinite A's...

B = A + B

B = A + A + B

B = A + A + A +B

:-/

Just substitute in for B every time...

 

[bobsmith1492]

You divided by zero on the third line, silly.

OK...

ab = b^2 Right?

so ab - b^2 = 0

a = b

Therefore a^2 = b^2

a^2 - b^2 = 0

0 = 0 Right?

Therefore

ab - b^2 = a^2 - b^2 (since 0 = 0)

 

[So]

so ab - b^2 = 0

Therefore a^2 = b^2

a^2 - b^2 = 0

0 = 0 Right?

Therefore

ab - b^2 = a^2 - b^2 (since 0 = 0)

The problem is, a valid proof requires every step to be explicitly stated.

You can't do that, though. If you do something to one side you have to do it to the other.
