    a = b
    a = ab
    a - b = ab-b
    (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)
    (a+b) = b
    a+a = a
    2a = a
    2 = 1

    The quote is right, you're wrong.

    Here is where you fail.
    a - b = ab-b
    (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)
    It would actually be on the right hand side of the equation either:
    = ab-b^2
    OR
    = b(a-1)

    Simple algebra IS pretty tricky. I can see how you would get confused...
