the number two equals one!

[crutchfield]

a = x [true for some a's and x's]
a+a = a+x [add a to both sides]
2a = a+x [a+a = 2a]
2a-2x = a+x-2x [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x [x-2x = -x]
2 = 1 [divide both sides by a-x]

Isn't that weird?
There may be something wrong but i won't say what

Urghhhhhh NO MORE ALGEBRA [doesnt bother to look at it all]

[crutchfield]

You just don't get it

what she said

[Maple34]

I get it. That is kind of wierd, though, but it is supposed to be the original not adding everything up and dividing and such. Two still = two.

a = x [true for some a's and x's]
a+a = a+x [add a to both sides]
2a = a+x [a+a = 2a]
2a-2x = a+x-2x [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x [x-2x = -x]
2 = 1 [divide both sides by a-x]

Fun fact: it's wrong. the division at the end is impossible

urghhh...i hateeeeeeee algebra what level is that anyway o.o my 8th grade algebra doesnt compare to that stuffs

You have 8th grade algebra?
In my school my algebra classes start in 9th grade . . .

if you divide both sides by a=x isn't it 1=1

OMG how could u do this to me!

[Mechy]

im learning algebra right now in my tutor umm 6xt= 6t?

7+t+4t=11t?

[chobbilight]

im learning algebra right now in my tutor umm 6xt= 6t?

7+t+4t=11t?

where is montycarlo when you need him
algebra is his favourite subject

[Whee]

im learning algebra right now in my tutor umm 6xt= 6t?

7+t+4t=11t?

7+5t=11t
-5t -5t
7=6t
7/6=t

[crutchfield]

im learning algebra right now in my tutor umm 6xt= 6t?

7+t+4t=11t?

That would be 7+5t
Right? Because they are not like terms, you cannot combine 7 and 5t
