Mathematical Proof that "2+2=5 "

[zaffire]

(1) let x = 2+2

(2)[multiply by x-1] x(x-1)=(2+2)(x-1)

(3) x^2 -x = 2x+2x-2-2

(4)[subtract 3x] x^2-4x=x-4

(5)[multiply by x-5] (x-5)(x^2-4x)=(x-5)(x-4)

(6)x^3-9x^2+20x=x^2-9x+20

(7)x(x-4)(x-5)=(x-4)(x-5)

(8)[divide by x-4] x^2-5x=x-5

(9)[add 4x] x^2-x=5x-5

(10)x(x-1)=5(x-1)

(11)[divide by (x-1)] x=5

And we started with x=2+2, therefore 2+2=5

Interesting huh :p
