A proof that 1 = 2 Step 1: Let a = b. Step 2: Then a 2 = ab. Step 3: So a 2 + a 2 = a 2 + ab. Step 4: In other words 2a 2 = a 2 + ab. Step 5: So2a 2 – 2ab = a 2 + ab – 2ab Step 6: and 2a 2 – 2ab = a 2 – ab. Step 7: So 2(a 2 – ab ) = a 2 – ab. Step 8: Cancelling the (a 2 – ab) from both sides gives 1 = 2.

Correct procedure in equations

Example for discussion Solve for x the following equations, commenting upon any special cases that arise in the two cases. (i) ax + b = bx + c (ii) ax + a 2 = b 2 – bx

STEP and AEA Principles  how to write mathematics in “good style”  understanding key symbols and using them correctly  ‘exact’ values  reasoning, conciseness and clarity

Common symbols to use:
