Question

MATH IS HARD. HELP Change the following into a single fraction: 1− (a+b/a−b)

Answer 1

Answer:

-2b/(a-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

1− (a+b/a−b)

We need to get a common denominator of a-b

1 = (a-b)/(a-b)

Replace 1 with (a-b)/(a-b)

(a-b)/(a-b) - (a+b)/(a-b)

Put over the common denominator

(a-b) - (a+b)

-----------------

(a-b)

Distribute the minus sign.

(a-b) - a-b)

-----------------

(a-b)

a-a-b-b

---------------

a-b

-2b

----------

a-b
