Question

❤ Mosquito = Elephant ❤

Mathematical fallacy,

Proof that an elephant and a mosquito have the same mass.

Answer 1

Hi.... ✌✌

Here's your answer.... ✔✔

❤❤❤Let a = mass of elephant in kg
Let x = mass of mosquito in kg
Let y = their combined mass in kg
Then:

\begin{align}&a+x=y\\&a=y-x\\&a-y=-x\end{align}
multiplying the two latter equations:

a^2-ay=x^2-xy
adding \left(\frac{y}{2}\right)^2 to both sides:

a^2-ay+\left(\frac{y}{2}\right)^2=x^2-xy+(\frac{y}{2})^2
which can be rewritten:

\left(a-\frac{y}{2}\right)^2=\left(x-\frac{y}{2}\right)^2
from which derives:

a-\frac{y}{2}=x-\frac{y}{2}
and finally:

a=x
that is, mass of elephant = mass of mosquito.❤❤❤

Hope it helps you... ✌✌
