given x = y
x = y
x(squared) = y(squared)
x(squared) - x(squared) = y(squared) - x(squared)
x(x - x) = (y + x)(y - x)
x(y - x) / y - x = (y + x)(y - x) / y - x
x = y + x
x = x + x
1x = 2x
where did i go wrong? where is the flaw? because 1 definitely does not equal 2.
if u get it right, automatic best answer!!

Division by zero
x(y - x) / y - x = (y + x)(y - x) / y - x
Can't divide by y-x since x=y

Well...you cant divide by y-x cause that equals zero and that sets off a lot of problems...

the flaw is:
zero division at y - x
