Mathematics

My favourite equation,

let a = x

a = x
a + a = a + x
2a = a + x
2a - 2x = a + x - 2x
2(a - x) = a + x - 2x
2(a - x) = a - x

Therefore

2 = 1

Therefore

2 = 1

You have to finish it properly...
if a=x,
then a-x = 0 so
2(0) = 0 != 1 != 2

lol algebra. Calculus is more fun.

LOL uncovery you are right. This comes off an old exam still a great equation though, most people always give up on it or cbf to do it, Congrats i would give you something but since you spawn anything with you godly powers, I don't think it is worth it.

Also 'Key Master' is that a Ghostbusters Reference???

Try solving this Riddle Math thing uncovery.

3 people walk into a tv shop
They buy a tv that cost $30
So they each put $10 in to pay for it
They give the money to the cashier
He takes the money to the manager
The manager says - That tv is $25 -
He gives back $5
On the way back the Cashier thinks
how can i spilt $5 between 3 people
so he puts $2 in his pocket and gives
$1 each back to the 3 guys
So therefore, They each payed $9
9x3 = 27 + 2 = $29

What happen to the $1??????????????

Your math is wrong bro. Why you adding 2? The total price was $25.

9x3 = 27-2 = $25

... ur adding up all the cash in the end.

so 27+2=29

Why would you add up all the cash in the end? They payed $25 not $30.

your equation doesnt fit what your trying to do look 30 dollars on the table the manager gets 25 the cashier pockets 2 guy A B C each get 1 dollar .....hmmm no missing money..... first off why use 9 they each payd 30 then five was taken off on the way to there pocket the cashier turned that five into three ... the three you used to describe both the money comming back and the amont of people buying the tv

10*3=30+2=32-5=27

10*3=30-5=25+2=27

... just ignore it btw it was for uncovery and u all ruined it
