There is a way in maths to prove that 1+1=3. My maths teacher in 1982 showed a step by step equation solving method,using the given rules,to prove this theory. I cannot remember the steps.Can someone/or my teacher if you out there-detail this theory.

Hi, SAJEETH!

1 + 1 equals 2. Why would you think that it might equal 3, please? I guess if it wasn't just concerning numbers that there might be a way...

Thanks!

1+1=3

Let x=y. Then 0=1

x - y + y = y 1=1

x - y + y y 1=1
--------- = ---
x-y x-y add them all

y y 0+1+1=1+1+1
1 + --- = ---
x-y x-y 1+1=3

1 = 0
