Alrighty, see if you can follow my logic here.
lets say
a + b = c
If so then
(4-3)a + (4-3)b = (4-3)c
or
4a - 3a + 4b - 3b = 4c - 3c
This can be rearranged like so
4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c
You can then factor out the coefficients from both sides giving you
4(a + b - c) = 3(a + b - c)
If you divide both sides by (a + b - c) then you are left with this
4=3
Obviously, 4 cannot equal 3, therefor this proof is wrong. Where is the flaw? First one to get it wins a prize.

Were calculators allowed? cos your brain cant get errors..... I dont think anyway.... |
it doesnt matter if calculators are used or not its still a divide by 0 error. and if u make a program that divides by 0 u end up with a message like
