Puzzling Equation
"Proof" that 2 = 1:
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 - b2 = ab-b2
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b
2 = 1
Does this argument make sense?

La Salle Boys Club (Class of '76)
This site is created with the objective of allowing the La Salle Boys (Class of '76) to stay connected. With more than 20 years of lost communication, the Boys have lots of catching up to do. It is hoped that this site is well used by all of us. "He removes the greatest ornament of friendship, who takes away from it respect" Cicero, Roman author, orator, & politician (106 BC - 43 BC).

(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b

Aiyoh.....if (a-b) is zero., as it should be from your initial assumption...than any solution derived from this is trivial....which means it just isn't happening dudes......that's about it...
