a+a = a+b
2a = a+b
2a - 2b = a+b - 2b (-b for both sides)
2(a-b) = a-b
2 = 1 (divide both sides by (a-b))
Dividing by zero is not allowed. :)

shouldnt it be 0 = 0, in the case that a-b can be simplified since they are equal? say it like this 2(a-a) = a-a. 2(0) = 0. 0=0

0*1=0*2, therefore 1=2.

If a=b, a-b = 0.
