let a = b

a^2 = ab : Multiply both sides by a

a^2 + a^2 - 2ab = ab + a^2 - 2ab : Add (a^2 - 2ab) to both sides

2(a^2 - ab) = a^2 - ab : Factor the left, and collect like terms on the
right

2 = 1 : Divide both sides by (a^2 - ab)

This works no matter what value a and b are and the only time 2n = 1n is
when n = 0 therefore all numbers are zero and don't exist.

But a=b, so a^2 - ab = 0. ie you've just divided both sides
by zero...

Didn't we do this a couple of weeks ago?

Soak it in WD40 overnight, and then apply heat and force.
