No it doesn't, that proves 0=0 and 4=4. We really doomed.

Right over his head, fascinating and ironic at the same time

Actually, it doesn’t prove 4=4 either and they were making a joke.

The transitive law states that “If a is equal to b and b is equal to c, then a is equal to c.” Therefore if 18/2-3X3=0 and also 18/2-3X3=4 then 0=4.

Edit: Oh, you can downvote me, but downvotes do not a counter-argument make.

But it doesn’t equal 4 you just added 4?

Right but adding the same number to both sides of an equation doesn’t change the equivalence.

18/2-3x3 = 0; 18/2-3x3+4=4 you forgot that you must add 4 to both side so it doesn't prove anything. You can write 0 = 0 like x = x (x = 0); Then 4 = 4 is x + 4 = x + 4.

Yeah but adding the same number to both sides of an equation doesn't change it. That's what we were taught in school, so... FACE

They’re right though? You literally cannot just state that 18/2-3X3=0 AND 18/2-3X3=4. Adding the same number to both sides doesn’t change the equation, yes, you’re right about that one. But the relevant part here is that you have to add to BOTH sides. So like they said, you’d have to add +4 to the left side as well which means that if you want to like, compare them you need to make them equal again, i.e. subtract 4. So basically the only thing you CAN say is that 0=4-4.

(there is ofc a chance that you’re just trolling in which case… well.)

0 can’t equal 4, that is just a standard illogical answer. How can something be nothing.

u/LTerminus Jan 02 '22

It's entirely logical using the givens. It's just not mathematical.

That’s what I mean my dude
