  3. The whole error is the division by an expression that equals zero. Using x for both variables is messy. Let me try to recall here the better formulation: a = b a^2 = ab a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 (a + b) (a - b) = b (a - b) a + b = b b + b = b 2b = b 2 = 1
  4. Yes, division by zero is the culprit.
  5. P.S. There is a more elaborate version that starts: A + B = C ...and ends: A = B
  6. Does x^2 - x^2 not factor out the way it shows up there? (I can't remember how any more. Senescence!) If so, that's just a goof. The real error that allows the apparent proof that 1=2 is the division by zero. @quoththeraven, I thought you yourself pointed that out when we brought up this case a few months ago?
  7. Revisiting this chestnut...
  8. Someone is bound to find this useful to repost in some situation or other.
