Question 445209: i'm trying to show a=b or a=1/b without plugging in the values for a.
this is the equation
a+1/a=b+1/b
i have tried multiplying both sides by ab
i tried the quadratic equation but that didn't work very well cause i couldn't get the square root out
i just need a step by step explanation of how to get there cause its driving me crazy and i think i'm just missing something simple
please remember. i know how to substitute. i'm basically proving a= b,1/b
which is why i tried making it a quadratic because i knew there were 2 answers
thank you very much
i hope you can help

Question 445312: Select any two integers between -12 and +12 which will become solutions to a system of two equations.
Write two equations that have your two integers as solutions. Show how you built the equations using your integers. Your solution and equations should not be the same as those of other students or the textbook. There are infinite possibilities.
Solve your system of equations by the addition/subtraction method. Make sure you show the necessary 5 steps.
