1=2 Bob Smith

Let A=B Then multiply both sides by A to get
AxA=AxB Then subtract BxB from both sides to get
AxA -BxB=AxB-BxB Then ,factoring,gives
(A-B)(A+B) = B(A-B) Then dividing both sides by (A-B) gives
A+B =B and ,since A=B,then
B+B=B or 2=1! Lol!

If A=B, then dividing by A-B is dividing by zero, which you cannot do. That's why that trick works.

Mongo not know....Mongo think is Place where Chewww Chewwww go...

In high school back in about 1951. I put it on the blackboard before
algebra class . My teacher was not pleased!

If 2=1 then I m a genius.
Proof: 2=1. A genius is one, and I'm one, so a genius and I are two.
From the equation, a genius and I are one. So I am a genius! :=)

[Bob Smith]

I dont think Ive ever seen the whole movie, and even if I did it was many many years ago.

just because of that equation, i'm skipping calculous today
