If bd ≠ 0, then

a/b + c/d (the common denominator is bd)

= (a x d)/(b x d) + (c x b)/(d x b)

= ad/bd + cb/db

= ad/bd + cb/bd

= (ad + cb)/ bd

Why is a over b plus c over d equal ad plus bc divided by bd always valid?

Because it can be derived from a large number of more basic principles applied to numbers. Since a/b and c/d are defined, then b and d are non-zero. Then a/b = ad/bd since multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by a non-zero number leaves it unchanged. Similarly, c/d = bc/bd [These steps implicitly assume the commutative property of multiplication ie there is no difference between premultiplication and postmultiplication] Another property of numbers: If x = p and y = q then x+y = p+q [equals added to equals result in equals]. So a/b + c+d = ad/bd + bc/bd and finally, using the distributive property of multiplication [by 1/bd] over addition, = (ad + bc)/bd Maybe you wish you hadn't asked!

How do you solve this geometry question for x given BD equals 5x plus 3?

BD = 5x + 3Subtract 3 from each side:BD - 3 = 5xDivide each side by 5:1/5 of (BD - 3) = x


How is a plus b over a minus b equals c plus d over c minus d?

(a + b)/(a - b) = (c + d)/(c - d) cross multiply(a + b)(c - d) = (a - b)(c + d)ac - ad + bc - bd = ac + ad - bc - bd-ad + bc = -bc + ad-ad - ad = - bc - bc-2ad = -2bcad = bc that is the product of the means equals the product of the extremesa/b = b/c
