Question 406466: Could you please verify that I'm doing this correct?
+%285%2Fx+%2B+5%2Fy%29+%2F+%2810x%2B10y%29++
Multiply numerator by LCD of xy
+%285%2Fx%29%2A+%28xy%29+%2B+%285%2Fy%29+%2A+%28xy%29+
to get 5y+5x which converts to
+5%28x%2By%29%2F%28xy%29+
Flip denominator and multiply
+%285%28x%2By%29%2F%28xy%29%29+%2A+%281%2F+10%28x%2By%29%29+
Cancel (x+y)'s
reduce 5 & 10
Answer? +1%2F%282xy%29+
I'm not confident in my work. Your help in reviewing my work and correcting me if needed, showing me where I may be going wrong will help. Thanks for your time!
