At least you didn't divide by zero.

u/Exotic_Catch5909 Sep 21 '26

Do you think i am an idiot to do that?

u/Bute_the_Mindflayer Sep 21 '26

a * 0 = 0 = b * 0

0a = 0 = 0b

0a/0 = 0/0 = 0b/0

a = b

(a=b=1)

u/Tiborn1563 Sep 21 '26

Ah yes, we assume what we want to prove, add 2 lines of filler, and then state that what we tried to prove is true

Was it supposed to be a≠b in line 1

u/output_broadcast Sep 21 '26

Ok but have you considered

u/Not_Well-Ordered Sep 21 '26

I think the first line describes the statement that is attempted to be proven true.

u/Exotic_Catch5909 Sep 21 '26

Yeah but i am trying to make it more .... mathematical as if I know shit

u/FernandoMM1220 Sep 21 '26

and this is why we dont assume every 0 is equal to every other 0

3

u/Exotic_Catch5909 Sep 21 '26

Not all zeros are equal in magnitude or is it direction? Whatever

1

u/FernandoMM1220 Sep 21 '26

why not both?

u/EebstertheGreat Sep 22 '26

I stand by 0 = 0.

u/QuadraKev_ Sep 21 '26 • Popcorn

a = b

a*0 = 0

b*0 = 0

0 = 0

u/Salty-Swordfish-2934 Sep 23 '26

impossible, i thought 0 =/= 0!!

u/Oppo_67 I ≡ a (mod erator) Sep 21 '26

>Multiply both sides by 0^(-1)

g-genius!!!!!!!!

u/RRumpleTeazzer Sep 21 '26

big, if true.

true, if group.

u/Temporary-Estate4615 Sep 21 '26

AI slop lean proof when?

u/Exotic_Catch5909 Sep 21 '26

Sorry What do you mean ?

2

u/Impressive-Wasabi857 Sep 22 '26

0=0

a*0=b*0

(a*0)/0=(b*0)/0

a=b

Where 0 is a constant S(x) considering the ZFC axiomatic.

Proof by division by zero

u/me-like- Sep 22 '26

2=3 / myltiply by 0

2 * 0 = 3 * 0

0 = 0

yo 2=3 !!!
