You sir, are the idiot!

(x+y)(x-y) = y(x-y)
Here is the step where the division occurs. Watch closely!

(x+y)*(x-y) = y*(x-y)
Two parenthesis next to each other or a number/variable next to the parenthesis means multiplication.

(x+y)*(x-y)/(x-y) = y*(x-y)/(x-y)
The same thing is being multiplied on both sides.
To undo this, we have to DIVIDE by the same number on both sides.

(x+y)*(x-y)/(x-y)1 = y*(x-y)/(x-y)1
Oshi! The two operations canceled each other out!

(x+y)*1 = y*1
Anything divided by itself equals one. Just what we wanted because 1 is the identity for multiplication!
Anything times 1 equals itself.

(x+y) = y
Almost there. We can get rid of the parenthesis now because the only operation being done is addition.

x+y = y
OMFG! We just got to the next step of the problem using division!
Too bad it completely destroys the problem because the division just happened to be 0.

I do believe that's x MINUS y.
I'll try explaining it another way.
x = y is what the equation started out as.
x - y = 0 since x is always equal to y, subtracting the y is essentially the same as subtracting a number from itself which always gives you 0.
I can replace x - y with 0 because they equal each other.
So by dividing out the x - y, he was really dividing by 0 which broke the problem.

Am I missing something here, or is this guy just an idiot?

Also: 5/0
x = y
so x-y=0
He divided out x-y
Therefore, he divided by 0.

(x+y)(x-y) = y(x-y)
x+y = y

You broke it by dividing by zero.

Bump, nice geckos! How old are they? I can't remember what the morphs are, but I know mine's a reversed pinstripe. But yeah, mine's a female...

:cookieMonster:
The left one is approx 3 year old orange harlequin and the right one is approx 2.5 year old tan dalmatian. I don't know their exact ages but I got them both as juveniles.

Anyone hear the news? Dow jones fell 777 points, biggest drop ever in history.
House refused the $700 billion bailout plan. What a forgetin' waste.

tl;dr (lazy friends): WE'RE forgetED.
Did anybody else notice the irony of it deciding to fall this specific number of points? Lol.
