x² - x² = x² - x²
x(x - x) = (x + x)(x - x)
x(x - x) = (x + x)(x - x)
x = (x + x)
x = 2x
x = 2x
1 = 2 QED

Not sure if you want the answer but you can't divide both sides by x-x, as that is 0.
So even though 2x0=1x0, it does not mean that 2=1.

The animal rights fanatics at PETA have launched a new campaign to stop farmers and nomad herders filling their animals with helium. As a libertarian, I'm not at all bothered by this practice - whatever floats your goat, I say...
