I have two simultaneous equations:
x+3y=1 and y=5-x
So replace y with 5-x, I have:
3x+3(5-x)=1
=3x+15 -3x=1
=3x-3x+15=1
=0+15=1
Then 15=1???
Can someone disprove this?

You just arbitrarily changed x to 3x. You can't do that...

If you hadn’t randomly turned x into 3x, you would’ve eventually simplified to -2x=-14, meaning x= 7.

This also means y=-2, since substituting x with 7 in the original equation makes it 5-7, which is -2.

here is another challenge

7^0 = 1

3^0 = 1

so 3 = 7

disprove this

#12 Any number to the power of zero is one once you’ve converted them, but until then the numbers have a very different value from each other
