Most people who believe that 1 = 2 make the mistake of dividing by zero:
If 1 X 0 = 2 X 0,
then you might suppose that 1 = 2, by cancelling the common factors, namely the factor of zero.
But you would be *absolutely* wrong to think this.
If it were correct, then all numbers would be equal. That would probably suit the Ministry of Education very well; not to mention the teachers' unions, as well as some nihilist philosophy students. But the bankers will never have it, and, so, the Indiana state legislature is in no danger of passing it. At last report, Indiana has not legislated the value of pi, either.

How can you use the make a ten strategy to solve 8 plus 7 equals 14?
You cannot because it is not a true statement.
What is 74 times 8 equals?
592. But you cannot be sure I did not make a mistake in the calsulation or in typing the answer. It would have been much safer AND QUICKER to use you calculator.
How can you use the make a ten strategy to solve 8 plus 6 equals 14?
8+2=10 6-2=4
How do you solve 3x plus 5x equals 32?
add 3x and 5x together to make 8x. Then your equation will be 8x=32. Lastly, divide 8 to both sides which will make x=4.
How do you solve 3a plus b equals 1 and a plus b equals to find a common solution?
The second equation is not complete and there is not sufficient information for a solution. It would make no sense for me to guess what a + b equals since, in that case, I may as well start posting my own questions and answering them!
