Guest UberNewb January 8, 2003 Share Guest UberNewb Guests January 8, 2003 If x=y then x squared= xy take y squared from each side: x squared - y squared= xy - y squared factor it!: (x-y)(x+y)=y(x-y) so x+y=y Becayse x=y y squared = y Divide by y, and .... 2=1! BAKOOM! (I know it technically doesn't work, but, really... 2=1!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeabos January 8, 2003 Share Zeabos Member January 8, 2003 I think your technically proving that X does not equal Y and saying that the origional problem is wrong. i get answers like that all the time in Alg II like 9=7 but the problem doesnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [DOH]TaPe January 8, 2003 Share Guest [DOH]TaPe Guests January 8, 2003 Yeah... but... x = y so x-y = 0 and you divided by x-y ... and you know there's a rule about dividing by zero... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gOOters January 9, 2003 Share gOOters Member January 9, 2003 Becayse x=y Sexy?? What does HE have to do with this? He goes to OU therefore he knows nothing about proper mathematics, they just use their fingers and toes at that school. Besides, TaPe got it. He showed your flaw, but hey, I will probably try that next time I get pulled over by a cop as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
