Due to seeing a comment of one of our most active users complaining about hating math, I have taken the liberty to create this chapter.

[There is a reason why you should just straight up avoid dividing by zero at all costs. On the one hand, it is impossible, and on the other it creates many impossible situations.]

Let's say:

a = b

next multiply both sides with "a"

a^2 = a*b

now subtract "b^2" from both sides

a^2 - b^2 = a*b - b^2

[a^2 - b^2 can be simplified as (a+b) * (a-b)

and

a*b - b^2 can be simplified as b * (a-b)]

now we have

(a+b) * (a-b) = b * (a-b)

next you can divide both sides by (a-b)

a+b = b

and since a = b, we now have

2b = b

Feel free to explain it if you figured out why we ended up with a ridiculous result.
