the rest should follow. Where does it go wrong?

a=b
a^2=ab

Until here no problem

 Here U have 0 = 0 with this equation, anyone knows that u can have all u want .
(for exemple try with a=4)
4=4
4^2 = 4*4
4^2 - 4^2 = 4*4 - 4^2  (0=0)
..... Then with 0=0 uy can say 0*12345 = 0*54325 So
12345 = 54325 ? No

That\'s not quite it.  It does have something to do with 0, but that\'s not it. 0=0 is a valid  equation. You can\'t multiply one side by 12345 and the other side by 54325. There\'s another trick in there. Keep looking.

er yeah thats how i figured it out too i ....er love maths also im ......er just ......er going for a .....er walk yeah thats it im going for a walk (runs out the room screaming)

Yes 0=0 is a valid equation.
But U  arrive at
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
Since a-b = 0
When U say so a+b = b it\'s no exact!

We can have 12345 * 0 = 6789*0 which is true!!!
so if a=b => 12345 (a -b) = 6789 (a-b)

but I repeat we can\'t say 12345 = 6789 because u\'ve done a division by 0!!!!

Now you got it. You can\'t divide by zero. Basically, that equation simply states the infinity = 2 x infinity. Good job Joze.
