one equal to two ?

That you do not think so it will not change the fact that, when you move from this line to the next, you actually divide by zero - (a-a)!!! More! A solution of an equation must be traversal to both direction - yours is not! a=a a²=a² This is a one-way step and is forbidden...

ok !! :thumbsup: My best answer[^]

:laugh: As I know mathematics doesn't approve 0=0 so, the error is a²-a²=a²-a² (meaning 0=0) exactly it is a teacher who showed it to us.
It has nothing to do with 0 equal to 0 or not (which is a mathematical game only), but the fact that division by zero is not permitted (or more precisely the outcome is undefined)...

1=1 a=a <=> a/a=1 a²=a² ?? a=b <=> a/b=1 a²=b² ?? then a=b a-c = b-c ? a-a = a-a (assuming a=b and a=c) ?? Where is the division by zero ? I've added c at both sides of =

Let read this :
1=1 a=a a²=a² a²-a²=a²-a² a(a-a)=(a+a)(a-a) a=a+a a(1)=a(1+1) 1=1+1 1=2Where is the error ?tayoufabrice wrote:

At the final step, you effectively have
a=0, which means thata/a=1on the second line is division by zero. But why werebandcintroduced? It's just nonsense. Additionally,a²=b²certainly does not meana=b. -

a - a = 0
You cannot get anything useful from a multiplication once it has involved a zero term.
5 x 0 = 12012 x 0
does not mean that
5 = 12012
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

a=0 never means a/a=0 (a can never be 0). a=a <=> a/a=a/a <=> 1=1 I could fix the post as : Given a C ]--;0[ U ]0;++[ (meaning 0 excluded)
Which means that you have an equation system and not a single equation...It's a different thing to solve...

Yes, but the damage is done before that.
You mean, when OP went to learn math?

How about this... ;P Start with this: 1/9 = 1/9 Then convert one side to decimal equivalent (which is infinitely recurring) 1/9 = 0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111...(etc etc) Then multiply both sides by nine 1 = 0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...(etc etc) Therefore, 1 is equal to 0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...(where the 9's are in infinite recursion). And yes, this actually is mathematically correct.
I agree but here 1/9 = 0.111111111111111111111111...... is not really true ; we lost 0.000000000000000000000.......9 I could write 1/9~= 0.111111111111111111111111...... then 1 ~= 0.9999999999999999999999999...... ??
