Your first mistake there is in going from the first to the second line.
It should be ((x-x)/x)-x = 0 Which, you may notice, gets you absolutely nowhere towards proving impossible results. |

(x-x)/x-x = 0 | x /= 0 0/x-x=0 0-x = 0 x = 0, which contradicts the statement that x /= 0 So, (x-x)/x-x = 0 has no solution. Your equation, however, is right only if x /= 0.

Quote:
Girls = time * money (time = money) so; Girls = money * money put it together; Girls = money^2 money = root (evil) said money is root of evil; Girls = [root (evil)]^2 (roots attached to exponents); Girls = evil ; Yeah I know it's dumb, but it's still funny. Then of course there is alwasy the old addage drinking and Calculus dont mix, Don't drink and derive |
