Starting with a straight question, "how could it be possible that one can be equals two?", well we never had warmed up yet. Okay, we are going to use some sort of high school algebra, and to recall some functions we may need factoring of algebraic numbers of an equations. On a given equation, in order to keep it intact and balance in its value, we must do any change to both side of the EQUAL sign.... The given equation... Let: X=Y now if we multiply left side, which is "X", by X we also need to multiply the right side which is "Y" by same X.
X=Y
X{X}=X{Y}
X*=XY
subtract both sides with {Y*}......> X*-Y*=XY-Y*
factoring both sides will be.......> [{X+Y} {X-Y}]=[Y {X-Y}]
NOW, we
simplify the equations by
dividing both sides with
{X-Y} or we just remove or
cancel [make it easier], {X-Y}
from left and right side of
the equation ..............> [{X+Y} {X-Y}]/[X-Y}=[Y {X-Y}]/{X-Y}
{X+Y}= Y
WE ended with simple figures
by doing any operations to both
sides for a balancing attempt...> {X+Y}=Y
Recall our original equation above which
is given as: X = Y Therefore, by
substitutions................> X+Y = Y
X+X = X
2X = X
Divide both sides with "X" 2X / X = X / X
2 = 1
...............................> 1 = 2
