a little fun with math 2=1?

X^2 - X^2 = X^2 - X^2

a little rearrange

(X+X)(X-X)= X(X-X)

divide out the common term

X+X = X

let X =1

and then

2 = 1

    when u divided both sides by (x-x), u divided them both by 0 (x-x = 0).

    its like saying (2)(0) = (1)(0), divide both sides by 0, 2 = 1
