a = b
                a² = ab
          a² - b² = ab - b²
(a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)
         (a + b) = b
            a + a = a
                2a = a
                  2 = 1

I believe the problem is you can't divide by a variable if it makes the variable drop out of the equation.

I think that's the part where it's impossible.  If they are the same non-zero integer then one + the other they can not equal them selves.

It means that the value of a (and thus b) is a null set, a and b aren't equal to anything.

Conversely if you got it to be 2 = 2 then the value of a and b would be all real numbers.

Post in English, or as close as you can reasonably get. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization count.

It's close enough to comprehend what I was saying.

Sure they do, but I could care less when it's the title.

Who cares?  Oh wait, ATG has a problem with it.  Time to flip the fucking world upside down because ATG has a problem with some random persons grammar..  It's the fucking title.  If you can't comprehend what the title was asking, then just gtfo.  You should be more then glad that I didn't spell it like this:

4|\|'/ /\/\47|-|/\/\371(14|\|$ \/\/4|\||\|4 73LL /\/\3 |-|0\/\/ 7|-|1$ \/\/0r|<$?

Also, your post is spam because it doesn't relate to the topic.  You should PM me next time.  Rule breaker.  Tsk tsk.  *Waves finger at ATG*  You should AWM yourself, it IS your job to warn rule breakers right?  Because you just spammed my topic.  Thanks though, I'll definately take your idea into consideration.  You're my role model.

In the red step you are dividing by (a-b) which = 0. And as everyone knows you can't divide by zero....

The function only works if A/B = 0. In which case 5A = A.

You can't then assume that 5 = 1, because you're dividing by 0 which would make the values of both undefined.

It looks good and lolz math on paper, but it really isn't that amazing.

If a = b, then (a-b)=0, and you can't divide both sides by (a-b) because you'd be dividing by zero.
