given:

a=b

therefore:

a^2 = b^2

substituting:

a*b = b^2  — because a*b is same as a^2

new equation:

a^2 – b^2 = a^2 – a*b  — because a*b is same as b^2

factoring:

(a+b)*(a-b)=a*(a-b)

dividing by (a-b):

a+b=a

substituting:

a+a=a  — because a is same as b

or:

2*a=a

dividing by a:

2=1              ?????  !!!!!!
