Add (a² - 2ab) to both sides,
Factor the left, and collect like terms on the right,
Divide both sides by (a² - ab)

tell me if it makes sense

2(a² - ab) = a² - ab

is correct cause 0=0

but not 2=1

at least this is what I remember from math...but that was long ago and it was far away...oh god, how very far...


I don't understand how you came up with 2=1???
