How is this possible?

magic bro, mathemagics

It's not bait. I legitimately want to know if there is a mistake that I couldn't pick.
You people are fucking retarded baka desu senpai
>>7680963
you can't divide both sides by a-b. Why?
>>7680963
Line 4 -> 5
> b (a - b) = ...
> b = ...
if b = a (line 1), then a - b = 0 and b * 0 = 0 != a + b
>>7680966
Of course you can. Why you couldn't?
>>7680970
a-b=0 you incompetent bag of shit. try critical thinking for once in your goddamn life.
It's not, you're dividing by Zero in line 4
>>7680967
But you are also multiplying the other side by 0
Its b*0=(a+b)*0
0 = 0
0*1 = 0*2
1 = 2
Now do you want to ask why 0.999.... = 1?
>>7680982
Thank you.
I'm literally mentally challenged for not seeing that any number multiplied by 0 is 0.
>>7680981
yes
>>7680981
Yes, because if you have a term that is always equal to 0 based on your defined variables then when you divide by it you are by your own definition dividing bY zero.
>>7680982
Why do people keep saying that you're dividing when it's clearly multiplication?
>>7680995
Line 4 to 5 you divide by (a-b) which is equal to zero

>he doesn't understand how basic algebra works.
>>7680974
such anger, try getting laid once in a while
cant we multiply by 1/(a-b) instead?
>>7681025
>1/0
>>7680954
>b(a-b)=((a+b)(a-b) so b = a+b
no: you divided by 0.
>b=2b so 1=2
no: b=2b so b=0.
>>7680954
It's not.
b =\= a + b
