let a = b
a² = ab
Multiply both sides by a
a² + a² - 2ab = ab + a² - 2ab
Add (a² - 2ab) to both sides
2(a² - ab) = a² - ab
Factor the left, and collect like terms on the right
2 = 1
Divide both sides by (a² - ab)

It's not possible, however you can get a bit of fun with your friends with this:
x = y
xy = y², then reversing...
-xy = -y², then adding x² on each side..
x² - xy = x² -y², then factorizing...
x (x - y) = (x + y)(x - y), taking out the (x - y) component
x = x + y, but x=y...
x = x+ x = 2x â x = 2x, then you can take out the "x"
â 1 = 2
the error is factorizing (x-y) because you can not factorize a zero!!!!!!!!

when 2 of something equal 1 of something else, then 2=1
ie 2socks = 1 pair
2 five $ bills = 1 ten $ bill

No, because it doesn't, but I can prove that 1+1= 0,1,2,3,4, and sometimes more physiologically. But that is another category! :D

e^(i * 2 pi) = e^(i * 4 pi)
i * 2 pi = i * 4 pi
2 = 4
1 = 2

No. The only way I have seen it done is with a formula that divides by zero which is undefined.
