2) <math>a^2 = ab</math>. Multiply both sides by a.
 
−
3) <math>a^2-b^2 = ab-b^2.  Subtract </math>b^2<math> from both sides.
 
−
4) </math>(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)<math>.  Factor both sides.
 
−
5) </math>(a+b) = b<math>. Divide both sides by </math>(a-b)<math>
 
−
6) </math>a+a = a<math>.  Substitute </math>a<math> for </math>b<math>.
 
−
7) </math>2a = a<math>.  Addition.
 
−
8) </math>2 = 1<math>.  Divide both sides by </math>a$.
