Can you prove 1 = 2?

[secondeye]

Hello there,
So this is my 1st thread and 1st post, so starting a new journey to this forum i would like to add 1 text message that i had received from my friend

Q)
1 = 2 how?

Solution:

Let
x=y
x+x-x = y+y-y
2x-x = 2y-y
2x-2y = x-y
2(x-y) = x-y
2 = x-y/x-y

2=1 Proved

what the fuck?

 

[kaveman]

2x-2y = x-y
2(x-y) = x-y

fail 2x-2y doesn't = 2(x-y)

 

[fixie]

No, seriously, you divided by zero. If x=y and you divide the equation by x-y, you are dividing it by 0.

 

[fixie]

fail 2x-2y doesn't = 2(x-y)

guess again man

 

[kaveman]

guess again man

lol I blame the weed, was gunna edit but then accepted my fate

 

[dchuk]

x+x-x = y+y-y
2x-x = 2y-y

You can't pick and choose what parts you combine and not combine. After that first line, you'd be right back to where you started, x=y.

Leave.

Never been good at math but i'm kinda drunk and feel like giving it a try for shits n giggles
1=1
1=-1^2
1=sq(1)
1=sq(-1)
1^2=sq(1)
1=sq(-1)^2 Square of square root cancel each other out i think or maybe its written like this: sq(-1^2)
1=-1
1+1=-1+1
2=0
2/2=0/2
1=0
1+1=0+1
2=1
1=2

hmm
idk i'm pretty sure something went wrong with that and it probably involves a squiggly I character that means something and happens when you take the square root of a negative number but fuck it that was too long ago for me to remember. You guys are too smart for me.

fail 2x-2y doesn't = 2(x-y)

2[2]-2[1] = 4 - 2 = 2
2(2-1) = 2(1) = 2

So yes 2x-2y = 2(x-y)

^its no fun if you google it!

if 1 + 1 is hard enough for some you're gona cause a hemorrhage.

 

[BeerHat]

We did proofs in discrete mathematics, the hardest damn class beside botany I ever took.

 

[CodyKrecicki]

Well if one is the same in itself then all sameness have difference, which means one cannot be one it must be two.

If you're so smart explain this.

 

[Garrett]

this post reminds me of this for some reason

 

[kingfish]

Division by zero FAIL

 

[faceblogger]

x-y/x-y =0/0 since x=y
0/0 is not defined in Math, so fail!

 

[Alexx]

If you're so smart explain this.

If I'm correct, this is something about the Golden Ratio.
The missing square is caused by the area overlapping of those triangle.

Just look carefully, the gradient of blue tri and red tri is different but close,
BLUE = 2/5 = 0.4
RED = 3/8 = 0.375
It is impossible for it to make a straight line for the big triangle gradient.

No, seriously, you divided by zero. If x=y and you divide the equation by x-y, you are dividing it by 0.
