If A and B are both equal to 0 then C=B however if they are any other integer then C does not equal B.

By the premises we find 2 B = C 2B =C This means B = t , C = 2 t B = t, \quad C =2t is a solution for every t R t \in \mathbb R . We also have that B = C B = C means t = 2 t t = 2t this is true only when t = 0 t=0 but indeed is a case that happens, so the answer is "sometimes".
