Maths Question

Let n be 1.

(n-1)-n=(n-1)-1
((n-1)-n)^2=(n-1)^2-1
(n+1)(n-1)-n^2=(n+1)(n-1)-1
(n+1)(n-1)=(n+1)(n-1)-(1+n^2)
(n+1)=(n+1)-(1+n^2)
(1+1)=(1+1)-(1+1^2)
2=2-(1+1)
2=2-2
2=0?

Ms Oh, who walks with an awkward gait and speaks with great difficulty was often an easy target for taunts, cruel jokes and discrimination. Although a high fever rendered one of her four siblings mentally impaired, cancer robbed her of her doting father and her best friend, her late mother was bedridden and suffered from chronic skin disease which led to the amputation of her mother's right leg, and her brother was a compulsive gambler who lost her poor parents' savings, Ms Oh did not give up in self pity, but to chase and live her dreams.
