For the "math inquisitive":
9th grade algebra that proves that 2 =1. Keep in mind, this is following the logic that whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other (in RED), and simplifying as you go.

    Nice slight of hand. The problem is, a^2-ab is also known as 0. You can't use 0/0 to prove 2=1.
