2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab
take out a^2 - ab as a common factor.
2(a^2 - ab) = 1(a^2 - ab)
divide through by a^2 - ab.
2 = 1
subtract 1 from both sides.
1 = 0

QED.
This isn't about your maths problem, rather this PhB degree! Now I searched up PhB and its a bachelor of philosophy. Now I have heard of a PhD (something I would personally love to be able to earn, but, I'm a bit skeptical about whether I would be smart enough to get one).

With your degree what are you majoring in and after completing this degree what would you considering doing? I'm guessing a PhD.
