Step-by-step explanation:

LEt the number be x.

2x - 5 = 3

2x = 3 + 5 = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.

A/ab-bsquare + b/ab-asquare?

lord [1]

Answer:

$\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

$\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}$

It can be solved as follows :

$\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{a(b-a)}\\\\=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{-a(-b+a)}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{a-b}(\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{b}{a})\\\\=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a-b)(a+b)}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$

So, the solution of the given expression is equal to $\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$ .
