  • division by (a-b) gives a discontinuity since it is equal to zero.

  • the answer is 0+0=0

  • Don't divide by zero. YOU WILL KILL US ALL!

  • Bow tie man is awesome.

  • Your 'B's are rad

  • you stated a=b at the start.

    later you divided by (a-b), which is division by zero.

  • This involves division by zero I guess, when he eliminated (a-b) from both sides.

  • at

    a+b=b we let b=a

    so,

    a+a=b

    1+1=2

  • your b looks like an l.

  • That's brilliant
