Math isn't boring, I am How come?
Well, that's nice prof. Stuka, but it don't follow a correct logic. What you wrote is a sequence of variable substitutions, i.e., it's just a linear sequence calculation. So, it's senseless to compare left and right hands of the equation, because it doesn't have two sizes, only one. It'd be more like this:
3a-2a=
-------------------------
=3b+3c-2b-2c, the end. Or,
3a-2a=0
------------------
3b+3c-2b-2c=0, the end.

irule got the point right in the begining.
The problem there is the "(a-thing) x 0 = (another-thing) x 0" stuff. Maths (and matematicians) hates this situation. In logic it is called a "tautological assertion" - that is, it is unuseful and claims nothing.
Sorry, Daniem, but seems to me that the conclusion "3a-2a=0" is not a valid one. Ein_StuK's proof is, for all effects, right and its flaw is only visible at the light of the impossibility of further considerations in presence of a 0/0.
On the proof I had post in this same topic, the problem is another though related. Infinites are another pain in the ass and have to be treted very carefully. Isn't for less that the 0/0 above is a problem.
Anyway, I like very much this sort of mathematical jokes. They help us to keep ourselves alert against illusions. Tks Ein_StuK!
Obs: We are playing so below the waistline that Pyrates hadn't gave us his enlightenment on the subject.
