Question

solve using the shortest method:
(a/ax+1)+(b/bx+1)=a+b

Answer 1

\[\frac{ a }{ ax+1 }+\frac{ b }{ bx+1 }=a+b\]

Answer 2

solve for x, right?

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

The shortest method would be to use a CAS

Answer 5

cas??

Answer 6

Actually, hang on a sec

Answer 7

yes .. ok..

Answer 8

are u there?

Answer 9

I'm kinda curious as to what this "shortest method" is myself.

Answer 10

how to solve?

Answer 11

Are you sure the denominators aren't a(x+1) and b(x+1)

Answer 12

nope..

Answer 13

as it is

Answer 14

its a question from quadratic equation

Answer 15

r u flvs

Answer 16

??

Answer 17

i had a question like that

Answer 18

florida virtual school

Answer 19

FLvs

Answer 20

nope.

Answer 21

oh . . .

Answer 22

i'm from India :D

Answer 23

wow cool

Answer 24

Answer 25

i live in canada but im doing school in florida

Answer 26

i do that sometimes

Answer 27

@TAMATCHI123 , I doubt if your question was in any way similar to this.

Answer 28

haha i'm insomniac .. i sleep during day..

Answer 29

@Hero what would it be

Answer 30

well not similar but it hade a same type problem to it @Hero

Answer 31

@Hero I tried solving this problem.. but this is being so long...

Answer 32

and i'm also not sure if it will end anyways..

Answer 33

im not the BIGGEST fan in math science is my strength

Answer 34

I'm not seeing a shortest method

Answer 35

me niether

Answer 36

yup.. and physics mine :D

Answer 37

cool barkbarktchi !

Answer 38

oh.. then i'm note sure if i would get answer in the end.. :(

Answer 39

i dont think so
either

Answer 40

There's a method to do it. But they want the "shortest" method.

Answer 41

i no but if there is a "shortest method" what would it be

Answer 42

actually not the shortest method.. it means in whatever short you can do..

Answer 43

well then that is a different story ( or is it )

Answer 44

I'm convinced that this so-called shortest method is to multiply the first fraction by (bx+1)/(bx+1) then multiply the second fraction by (ax+1)/(ax+1)

Answer 45

Then combine the fractions afterward

Answer 46

i think that is going to be the "most" shortest one there is

Answer 47

ya i did that.. i mean tried addition then the several operation then lost :/

Answer 48

maybe you went somewhere wrong

Answer 49

nope ... i think it would take 3 pages to solve.

Answer 50

wow that is long @Hero i think your right i never had a question similar to this one

Answer 51

i solved previous question in 1.5 page..

Answer 52

is this calculus

Answer 53

yuck i dont like it

Answer 54

nope it is from quadratic equations

Answer 55

still yuck

Answer 56

so ... can anyone do this?? wbu @Hero ?

Answer 57

@Hero to the rescue

Answer 58

Yes, I can do it, but I'm not going to. I already gave you a running start. And no@tamatchi, I'm not 14

Answer 70

yup!

Answer 71

alright
so you're solving for x right?

Answer 72

Answer 73

yes he is solving for x

Answer 74

yesss

Answer 75

wait be right back...
i got to do something...

Answer 76

he also gone.. :/

Answer 83

jus wait i always count on him

Answer 84

to come back

Answer 85

I don't feel like doing that many steps.

Answer 86

math is about doing work and steps >n<

Answer 87

Maybe somebody else will feel like it.

Answer 88

how did you get to 99

Answer 89

then hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Answer 90

ok so you want to add two terms together...
and the terms don't have the same denominator
so what do you think you should do? @coolshubhs

Answer 91

By helping people. But helping people is different from posting a bunch of steps.

Answer 92

well when i see you help people u have steps HMMMMMMMMMMM?

Answer 93

Yup, and I help people in a way that is appropriate depending on the question.

Answer 94

i think simple solving of algebra.. but it's being too long... :/

Answer 95

well then

Answer 96

that is not nice

Answer 97

Yup, it's just too long and nobody wants to type all of that latex
