---

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

You divided by 0.
Edit: Whoops someone already posted that. :P My bad.

I remember a sub-teacher did this kind of thing one day for us. (our teacher wasn't there that day). think one person figured it out....
but taught us the listen of dividing by zero :P

edit: this was during 9th grade btw.
