Not an equation, a derivation. It's as follows

1) Let A=B+1

2) Multiply by (A-B)

A(A-B)=(B+1)(A-B)

3) Expand

A^2-AB=AB-B^2+A-B

4) Subtract A from each side

A^2-AB-A=AB-B^2-B

5) Factorise

A(A-B-1)=B(A-B-1)

6) Divide by (A-B-1)

A=B

7) In 1) above, replace A with B

B=B+1

8) Subtract B

0=1

Incorrect, step 6 is illegal, you cannot devide by zero.
according to one:
A=B+1
A-B=1

In step 6, you devide by (A-B-1)
1-1=0
You cannot devide by zero.

Jesus Christ, we all know! Read the rest of the thread before you tell us what we've already told each other several times. It's not being seriously suggested as a proof that 0=1, we're not that thick.
