Simplify 2c^-1 d + 2d^-1 c = 2d/c + 2c/d = 2d*d/cd + 2c*c/dc Final Answer: 4d^2 c^2/cd Is it correct?

How did you get your final answer ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Upto this step you are perfectly correct: = 2d*d/cd + 2c*c/dc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the step before last is: 2d^2/cd + 2c^2/cd

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

\[\large{\cfrac{2d^2}{cd} + \cfrac{2c^2}{cd}}\] After this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it was the step before last

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay after this you should get this: \[\large{=\cfrac{2c^2+2d^2}{cd}}\] \[\large{=\cfrac{2(c^2+d^2)}{cd}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. I guess I shouldn't have added 2d^2 and 2c^2 since they're not like terms

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Correct ! You got it ^^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok! Gotta pay closer attention I guess. Thank you!

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Your welcome. Best wishes Vishwesh
