Question

simplify x-y/x+y + x+y/x-y

Answer 1

May I rewrite the question?\[\frac{x-y}{x+y}+\frac{x+y}{x-y}\]

Answer 2

yes thats how its written

Answer 3

How would you do?\[\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\]

Answer 4

it would stay the same. a/b + b/a

Answer 5

Try multiplying each by \(ab\)

Answer 6

ahh i get it. for the xy question my answer would come out to 2(x^2+y^2)/(x+y)(x-y)

Answer 7

so do i simplify my answer more? if so, would does it come out to

Answer 8

r u still here

Answer 9

Sorry, doing math the old fashioned way.

Answer 10

okay i gotchu
