If you wanna know the original formula, here it is:
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab - b2
(a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)
[(a + b)(a - b)] / (a - b) = [b(a - b)] / (a - b)
a + b = b
b + b = b
2b = b
2b / b = b / b
2 = 1
Now, I already see a flaw when I first looked at this.
Dividing by 0. You see, Since a = b, then a - b would be 0 but the problem divides both sides by 0, so it's impossible.
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab - b2
(a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)
[(a + b)(a - b)] / (a - b) = [b(a - b)] / (a - b)
a + b = b
b + b = b
2b = b
2b / b = b / b
2 = 1
