For your proof you used the negative of your proof:

Foothill wrote:
(10 + 10)(10 - 10)
10 * (10 - 10)


Here you say that 10-10 / 10-10 (which is 0 / 0) = 1. That is invalid because you just proved that it was 2. Hence that step is wrong.

I suspect you can "prove" that x/0 is any number. That is the whole reason it is "undefined".
