    I can. But, I thought it would be better if the person who guessed correctly would post a new one (and give the +1 rep to the next person). Keeps it fresh.

    Ok. I'll give a math problem. Please, don't go Google the answer. Where is the error?

    If you open it in a new tab, you can see it.

    Mozilla doesn't show anything there that could be opened in another tab. I'm gonna try Explorer.

    I'm pretty sure that regardless of the numbers used, since a=b, the answer would always end up as zero. So how they got 2=1 is... confusing, or it's just wrong.

    Edit: Ah I get it, it's saying that two (a - b)'s is the same as one (a-b), which technically it is. Though that's not really math.

    My guess:

    2=1 should be 2=2

    Sloth is close. But, I'm looking for the specific error (and in what step it is).

    It's in the second to last step, I'm not sure what it's called though. But if they do 2(a - b) = 1(a - b) then it's (a - b)+(a - b) or (2a - 2b) = (a - b) which is (0 + 0) or (0 - 0) = 0 not 2=1

    the problem is that they cancelled the (a - b) parts out and just left it as 2=1, which you can't do because the number in the parentheses is 0.

    I'm only in elemntary algebra dang it, this is too hard! :evil:

    If the second last part was 2(a-b)=1(a-b) it could be solved like this (I guess):

    2(a-b)=1(a-b) if I divide all of this with (a-b) it would result in this:

    2=1

    Which means that the last part is actually true.
    The error is in the second last part. The right hand side should be 1(a-b) instead of the a-b.

    But by divideing by (a - b) you're dividing by zero which you can't do. Booyah!

    But I'm not treating (a-b) as zero at this phase. I'm treating it as (a-b).
    (I don't know if that made any sense lol)

    I know what you mean, but the instant you start dividing by zero, the numbers themselves become meaningless since it's "undifined"

    therefore you could get something like 6=1, 6=10, 100=37

    or in this case 2=1

    that's the mistake they made, they divided by zero
