fourth line, I think
a-b=0 You can't divide by zero
in the last step you divide both sides by (a-b) but because a=b, a-b=0 and you can't divide by 0
in fourth line isn't that: 0 = negative number
there looks to be a typo in line 4 also you should have 2a-2b=a+b-2b which gives you 2a-2b=a-b

4th line a+b becomes a-b
