1+1=1

.

 

One word.............what?!

 

What the hell...?

 

dedicateds maths homework

 

its true i am agreed

 

...I understand that. I swear....













Okay Dedicated, since we're all obviously not as smart as you, wanna run through that? lol

 

I'm going to print that out and see if my math teacher can make any sense out of it

 

what the #### ... i hate math

 

I don't get it.

 

wtf?

 

wow.. i didnt knew that math was so stupid

 

x=y, 1=1
x² = xy, 1=1
x²-y²=xy-x³, 0=0
(x+y)(x-y)=y(xy), 0=1 (Oops, problem here...)
((x+y)(x-y))/(x-y)=(y(x-y))/(x-y), 0=0
x+y=y, 2=1 (Oops, problem here...)

There's something wrong here .

 

I've done my math children.

 

You almost got it right Avenger...

I worked it out before:

Substitute the letters for numbers

1=1
1² = 1x1
(1+1)(1-1) = 1(1-1) <----- these both = 0

(1+1)(1-1)/(1-1) = 1(1-1)/(1-1)

Now, you start to cancel out...

(1+1)(1-1) = 1/(1-1)

Cancel out again...

(1+1) = 1

 

Dedicated, what is the original problem. That is, before you did any work. That way I can try working it out.

 

The main problem is:

(1+1)(1-1)/(1-1) = 1(1-1)/(1-1)

or

(x+y)(x-y)/(x-y) = y(x-y)/(x-y)


but all you have to do is cancel it down...

 

But than it ends up as 2=1. Doesn't that mean it's a no solution? I mean if 2 truly equalled 1, math for me would of been hella easier.
