Default Re: Proof

Let x=1, y=1
Then: x=y
Multiply both sides by y: xy=y^2
Subtract x^2 from both sides: xy-x^2=y^2-x^2
Factor both sides: x(y-x)=(y+x)(y-x)
Divide both sides by (y-x): x=y+x
Substitue original values: 1=1+1 or 1=2

Can't divide both sides by y-x because y-x = 0 (since you gave the definition y=x)
Can't divide by zero.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

- I Timothy (ch. VI, v. 10)

Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes
- Louisa May Alcott

The lack of money is the root of all evil
- George Bernard Shaw
