I wanted to make up a math problem troll but doing complex math in my head is harder now, I'd have to write it down and I'm not getting a pen and paper. Not even sure if I have paper.

jokes on you, i'm far too lazy to do math

I can do it for you.

a + 1 > 1

-a + 1 > 1

a,-a > 0

Therefore negatives do not exist. Not how you do that proof but that's your QED.

Damn, you spitting fire here.

I hope you were talking to me, cause now I'm drunk enough for real math. Dunno why I included the less than, that overcomplicates shit and the proof is simple, it's  just assuming a negative times a negative is or isn't positive, it's a simple proof. A is any nonzero number.

-1(a - a) = 0

-a + a = 0 👍

-a - a = 0 🖕

QED

The one in my head was the ancient chinese method of simple algebra, say 3x = 9. They set the problem equal to 0 and make two guesses, say 2 and 4, yes I'm making this easy, but large and small guesses were the common practice. So they take the guesses and multiply them by the answer of the opposite problem, subtract those results, divide that by the same relation in guesses, an arrive at the correct answer. So, y = mx + b, and y is 0, and we solve for x. M = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). So x = -b[(x2 - x1)/(y2 - y1)].

So what is happening in ancient Chinese math, is (y2x1 - y1x2)/(x2 -x1) = x. So how? Y = mx + b. So you have [(mx2 + b)x1 - (mx1 + b)x2]/(x2 - x1).

Oh damn, I started working this out on paper and I am not fucking phone typing this.

This thread made me have a dream last night where I was told I had to add two fractions in order to be hired by my old company. I had to add 1/2 + 1/2 and I just couldn't do it. Not sure if I was having a brain fart, or if I just legit didn't want to be hired back by my old company. It was a nightmare either way.

I did not make this thread with the intention of doing fractions i assure you
