Thats cause it's not even funny...it's just retarded.

You cant substitute something in for 0 lol!

x - y = 0
2x - 2y = 0
----
2x = 2y
x = y

then you substitute x for x but yea :D its just a big loop and he did it all wrong

and if you cancel out the variables then its nothing, just 1 or w/e...Then the whole equation was pointless.
You try solving for one variable so you canget the other :D

When the guy started using the most obvious alternative equations, I knew he was just a tryhard dumbass. And besides he final answer was a bit......well....wrong.
