Does one equal to zero?

1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

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,

Yes, one does eqa to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that

x = y. 

Then x2 = xy. 

Subtract the same thing from both sides: 

x^2 – y^2= xy – y^2.

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.

I am not good at explaining this type of question. so I copied and pasted the explanation part. I hope this helps

answer: was that a question or answer?

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
