Left hand side of Equation(2) is the same as the left hand side of Equation (3) but they are stated as being equal to different values!!!

Explanation:

Given
x+y-z=2........................................(1)
color(red)(x-y-z=color(blue)(3)........................................(2))
color(red)(x-y-z=color(green)(4)........................................(3))
