X^2 - 6x + 5 = 0
x = (X^2 + 5)/6
I'm sorry, i just can't help myself X = 5 or 1
And what's the average of 5 and 1?

Existence of God proven, Checkmate atheists!
Failed.
Reason: didn't mention God.
Rats! Foiled again by that pesky all powerful being...
An old joke:
It's now a reality in the US.
Bonus points! You even showed your work!
I think I’m converting to pannumerism.
(/jk, this is why we don’t divide by zero)
Back in highschool, we had a kinda shitty math teacher who got put on honors precalc, which was kind of above her head. As a joke, one of the students wrote out a more complex version of that proof (just extra steps padding it out and making it slightly less obvious he was dividing by 0) wrote the proof out at the top of an exam, and answered every question as 0.
The teacher spent a month thinking her genius student had disproved all of mathematics before someone finally explained it to her.
I dunno why, but only had either incredibly shitty math teachers or incredibly awesome math teachers.
The best was a guy who fought in Vietnam (and talked about those experiences, instead of not saying anything,) and also had a Friday-class-teacher as often as he could.
The guest teachers were always people who used the math we were learning in careers that where just about math. (They were also actually interesting people. You’d think the actuary would be boring. There were also pharmacists and doctors. Chemists. People you’d not normally think of.)
They weren’t teaching math so much as talking about what they were doing with it- if it was research, it was what they were researching then and there, etc.
Had him for a lot of classes. Algebra, statistics. Trig.
In any case the worst two was either the guy the school hired to be a football coach that used and insisted we used play calling diagrams to “show our work.” And it wasn’t anything like the usual steps.
The other worst was a lady who I described as Eva Braun’s Evil Twin. (I still stand by that. She was not a good person and she routinely bullied a friend. I idea how that teacher was still employed.)
All three of them got that for something. Mr Awesome laughed, and said “this is why we don’t divide by zero.”
The evil Eva Braun got really pissed off.
The coach? Yeah. He struggled with it for a week or two. Until he took it to another of the teachers and came back really pissed off. (He tried to make me run laps around the school as punishment. I just ignored him.)
Dividing by zero is God's will.
Allah said 42.
If I have to choose a hyper-authoritarian and genocidal deity†, I'm gonna go with the one who recognizes Douglas Adams as the prophet he so clearly was.
† which I don't, so I don't.
