Mathemagics

The attempt at solving a mathematical problem by applying incorrect assumptions, inappropriate formulas, and bypassing intermidiate steps to derive an answer.

Student's Homework:
a + b = c
(4a - 3a) + (4b - 3b) = (4c - 3c)
4a + 4b - 4c = 3a + 3b - 3c
4(a + b - c) = 3(a + b - c)
therefore, 4 = 3

Teacher:
This is mathematics, not MATHEMAGICS. Don't divide by zero.
