a=b a2=ab a2-b2=ab-b2 (a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b) a+b=b(a-b)/(a-b) a+b=b misal a=b=1, a+b=b 1+1=1 2=1 ???? a2 is a square

The anomaly arises because the expression (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) resolves to 0=0 and, in the next line, you attempt to equate a+b with an expression which has no meaningful value ... 0 divided by 0 ... so any further deductions are meaningless.
