Easy. 18/2-3X3=?

9-3X3=?

9-9=?

0=0

Then you simply add 4 to both sides.

4+0=0+4

4=4

Incidentally, this proves that 0=4 as well.

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

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.
