hey i can prove that(but with no mathematical way..there is a mathematical error in the solution, try to find it)

u may be familiar with the formula a^2 - b^2(read as (a square) minus (b square))
= (a+b)*(a-b)

now the proof,
10-10= 0.....eq no. 1
2^2 - 2^2= 0....eq no. 2

from eq no 1 & 2

10-10= 2^2 - 2^2
now,
5(2-2)= (2+2)*(2-2)....taking 5 common from the first term and by using the result mentioned above we get this

now cancel the same terms (2-2) from both sides..

finally we get 5= 2+2 or 2+2= 5

lets see if u can find the error

Since (2-2)= 0 and you can't cancel 0 from the equation.
Thus, the error occurred from the reason I mentioned above.

This is also known as the "divide by zero" error.

The answer has already been given. I can still remember about 35 years ago our maths master saying "Thou shall not divide by zero".

If this is possible then we can prove anything.

For instance 4 x 0= 28 x 0

Now divide both sides by zero and 4= 28
