I don't quite get your question.
Assuming I'd go through with this it would look something like this

a=b+c
=> ...
.
.
. (less than five line, yeah )
=> a=b
=> a=b+c=a+c => a=a+c => c=0 -> contradiction

I assume you want to use some exploit in squaring, integrating, ...
to get to that solution but that wouldn't be proper math, would it.

Of course there's still
a=infinite b=infinite -> a=b+c infinite=infinite+c which would be correct
