    (a + b) (a + b ) = c (a + b)

    a*a + ab + ba + b*b = ca + cb

    a*a + ab - ca = cb - b*b - ba

    a( a + b -c) = -b(b + a - c)

    so a = - b

    a + b = 0

    Hence 4000 + 2000 = 0.
    Ok, where is the mistake. I mean, where is the wrong step. This can't be.

    Default wrong

    if a=4000;b=2000 & c=6000;
    you can't cancel out (a+b-c) from both side of the equation. bcoz (a+b-c)=0.
    a( a + b -c) = -b(b + a - c) ,
    You r doing wrong in this line, This is beyond the low of mathematics, If you will do so a*0 = -b*0, cancel out 0 from both side you will get a=-b, This is not possible boss?

    I remember my math teacher doing something like this back in high school. It was entertaining to say the least.
