   About MathFun

  

 

Makes math fun to learn and easy to teach for grades 1 through 9.

    Find at which step of the following proof, it becomes false.   And give the reason.

 

Does 2 = 1 ?

  
1. A = B
Add A to both sides

2.

A + A = A + B
3. 2A = A + B
Subtract 2B from both sides
4. 2A - 2B = A + B - 2B
5. 2A - 2B = A - B
6. 2(A-B) = A - B
Divide both sides by (A-B)
7. 2 = 1
 
2 can't equal 1! What's wrong with this problem?
