About anything > 2 x 2 = 5 

25 - 25 = 20 - 20
25 - 20 - 5 = 20 - 16 - 4
5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1)
5 = 4
5 = 2 х 2

Where is the mistake?

You can't simplify subtraction transactions before you conclude transaction in brackets.That is one of the rule of four transactions.So;

5x(5-4-1) = 4x(5-4-1)
5x(0) = 4x(0)
0 = 0
=)

mistake = 2 x 2 = 5 bur 2 x 2 = 4

haha...just like sara said....:) learn math :)

> 5x(5-4-1) = 4x(5-4-1)
> 5x(0) = 4x(0)
> 0 = 0


"F"

mistake = 2 x 2 = 5 bur 2 x 2 = 4
The newb, how u know what is x? It may be 1,25 so 2*1,25*2=5

u boon 2x2=4 and 3x3=9 i know what is x

25 - 25 = 20 - 20
25 - 20 - 5 = 20 - 16 - 4
5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1)

5x0=4x0 u cannot simplify by 0   IT'S AN ERROR... DIVISION BY 0

25 - 25 = 20 - 20
25 - 20 - 5 = 20 - 16 - 4
5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1)
5 = 4
5 = 2 х 2
if x=1.5
thank first mistake is ''5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1)'' here=)

5x0 = 4x0 is totally correct. Any number multiplied by 0 = 0 ...
And that's the mistake here.

5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1) should be followed by
5 x (0) = 4 x (0)
0 = 0 and not 5 = 4

Always glad to assist

lol
just gealouse that i beat u to it :tease:

i think 2x2=4

:ponder: Where's my prize? :D

to get from here:
5 x (5 - 4 - 1) = 4 x (5 - 4 - 1)

to here:
5 = 4

you must divide by (5 - 4 - 1) which is 0!
And as we all know you cannot devide by zero in math :P
