$$frac{1}{$a + b + x$}) - $$frac{1}{x}$ = $\frac{1}{a}$ + $\frac{1}{b}$ Take LCM of the denominators on both sides of the equation. LCM$a + b + x, x) = (a + b + x)x ; LCM(a, b) = ab
$$frac{x}{$a + b + x$x}) - $$frac{$a + b + x$}{(a + b + x)x}) = $$frac{b}{ab}$ + $\frac{a}{ab}$ $\frac{−$a + b$}{(a + b + x)x}) = $$frac{$a + b$}{ab})
$$frac{− 1}{$a + b + x$x}) = $$frac{1}{ab}$ Cross multiply the denominators on both sides of the equation. -ab = x2 +$a + b)x
x2 + (a + b)x + ab = 0
x2 + ax + bx + ab = 0
(x + a)(x + b) = 0
x = -a or x = -b
