You're going to have to explain that.... not sure what you're trying to say.lhuser said:2b=b

Step 1 is correct making it equal to the line before it:CJ said:The equation above equates to:
(1)A^2 - AB + BA - B^2 = BA - B^2
(2)=> BA - B^2 = 0
(3)=> BA = B^2
(4)=> B x A = B x B
(5)=> A = B
where ^ is "to the power of".
I think you have to multiply out the brackets before simplifying your answer.
OR if you don't assume that A=B, the same equation equates to:
=>A^2 - AB = 0
=>A^2 = AB
=>A x A = A x B
=>A = B
I think you're confusing your algebra a bit. It's perfectly legal to divide B from both sides of the equation:draconum said:Thats quite clear, you can't just divide b out of each side, you can only divide the number, thus it's completly screwed. Plus I dought A^2 = AB is hardly proven. Because if A was squared it would = a number, lets say:
A=2 B/=A (cannot equal) because if it was equal, it would also be considered A^2, so each side cannot equal each other from the start.
(starts to think...) unless:
A^2 = AB
(A^2)/A = (AB)/A
A=B
Meh it's certainly a f**ked up equation.
