1=0 !!!!!

The following is a "proof" that one equals zero.

Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that

x = y.
Then x² = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x² - y² = xy - y².
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x + y = y.
Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
1 = 0.

What's wrong with this "proof"?

The Math Behind the Fact:
The problem with this "proof" is that if x=y, then x-y=0. Notice that halfway through our "proof" we divided by (x-y).

Remember : This is a reminder for students to always check when they are dividing by unknown variables for cases where the denominator might be zero.

Math Facts

Multiplication by 11 is easy! To multiply by a 2-digit number add the two digits and place the sum in between!

25 x 11 = 275
31 x 11 = 341
57 x 11 = 627 <-- you need to carry the 1!

What about a 3-digit number? Can you figure out what's going on here?

253 x 11 = 2783
117 x 11 = 1287
532 x 11 = 5852
267 x 11 = 2937
