Can it be possible that 1 = 2?
I found them very interesting paralogisms that got so here goes one more:
Started by:
a = b
Now multiply by both members:
a 2 = ab
Now subtract b 2 to both terms:
2 - b 2 = ab - b 2
Now factorized two terms:
(Ab) (a + b) = b (ab)
After simplifying:
a + b = b
As a = b, we replace the values:
b + b = b
Adding we have:
2b = b
And finally simplifying:
2 = 1
So what happened? Is there something wrong? Discuss your answer.

What good to meet with a blog like yours. I like that approach to the different areas that make up education. So I wanted to share an ideal place if you need to prepare for entrance exams or tutors
Thank you. success and continues that commitment!

Everything looks very logical to the part of b + b = b. It also means that b = bb, right? ie b = 0, = 0, so 0 +0 = 0 or 2 × 0 = 0, so the end result is not correct. Can it be?
Porfa, send me an email or say me on my blog if I am right.

By assuming a = b;
divide by simplifying the two terms of equality between zero and dividing by (ab) = 0
