rainone: fuckyeahmath: I love this problem so much, I saw a lot of people being confused over it so I’m going to explain it. This problem is a hypothesis. It is an “if-then” it is if a=b then 2=1; however a does not equal b, if it did then a would simply equal a because b would be a <3 I love math  Because a-b=0 you’re dividing by zerp in the last step. sorry, try again If in the last step we assume a-b = x, relook at the problem. 2(X)=X or 2X=X. Hows can this be? Oh yeah, because X equals 0.

I love math 

Because a-b=0 you’re dividing by zerp in the last step. sorry, try again

    Actually no. The reason...divides by zero giving NaN = NaN You see,

    if a=b, then a-b=0. Therefore 2(0)=0. YAY MATH.
