Anyone here who is good at math ?

Post by Quyxz »

I have a funny equation:

---

x = y

x + x = x + y

2x = x + y

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

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

2(x - y) = x - y

2(x - y) = 1(x - y)

2 = 1

---

So what went wrong? :P
I know this is pretty old, but still, it's fun. :D

i dont see what is funny. i just see someone screwed up. How did they get to 2=1 from 2(x - y) = 1(x - y)?

You divide each side by x-y
Well, the equation is perfectly correct.
So I guess one is equal to 2. :P

No that part's is right. -2y+y=-y But what Innovacious said, if x=y, x-y is 0 and you can't divide by zero.

Just hold out until you have grade 8 math, you will be enlightened then. I used to think 14 year olds always acted like retards on the internet because they started getting hair on their balls and thought they were the kings of the world - maybe it's because they learned basic math.

That would make you normal where I live. One of my friends took Calc bc in 10th grade and now takes math at our University.

i set myself up to take math at our local university, so I still think I'm smart

Humm the result is again X = Y, or 0 = 0

The thing that went wrong is that you hit the wrong button on the keyboard because everything is correct there.

You no equal smart. Understand? You're in 10th grade, that makes you dumb. You think you're smart because you take 'higher' math, so your basis is on how much you know, well then you'd be dumb by your own standard because you don't know anywhere near enough to be considered smart. The main reason is you're in 10th grade, come back in 20 years and maybe you'll have touched the edge of the word 'smart'. No need for your ego to run out of control here even if your mom reminds you you're smart everyday.

meh you don't have to flame. I'm just saying that I consider myself smart compared to the school standards. Its not like I'm bragging that I know more than a 35 year old man, chill out, I'm talking about school standards not life standards.

Wait wait wait, so I shouldn't flame people and call them out just because they repeat the same thing over and over again that I believe it is overwhelmingly annoying to SRF members and me?

Wait wait wait, so the only way you could live with yourself was to make an account and degrade someone on the internet because you found what they had to say annoying?

Never thought I'd need this account to be honest.

I read that there are some rednecks who have never seen an asian before because they are so poor they are stuck living in their hometown for 60 years


why don't you stop now..

we get the point that you hate firefox. We also get that your very rude too
since most of your posts are insults anyways, I can consider your posts spam.


its a negative opinion that you can keep to yourself. When people are discussing about anime in a certain thread, you just don't come in and say that anime sucks. Have a little respect for other people. Its comments like the ones you made that start hating/flaming/arguments


There's no reason that someone has to be flamed simply for bumping an old topic. I don't care whether or not Sylhana has gotten the point or if the thread has done its job. You don't need to flame and you can keep it to yourself. You must have a mental issue if a simple bump pisses you off.


not to mention the grammar, seriously try to be a little clearer >.>


lol you are farking nuts and a hypocrite too


lmfao how clueless are you???


Maybe I just dislike these kinds of people.

Ok I see what you mean. I would have probably made an account just for that too. But people are different, you can't change them, so either you accept them or kill them.

I suck at algebra and geometry. I'd have to bust out a textbook to remember how to do that crap.
