SOLUTION: Assuming that the variables are nonzero, when will the sum of c and d be equal to the sum of the reciprocals of c ad d?
Translation: (variables are nonzero) c + d = 1/c + 1/d

Question 775255: Assuming that the variables are nonzero, when will the sum of c and d be equal to the sum of the reciprocals of c ad d?
Translation: (variables are nonzero) c + d = 1/c + 1/d
Answer: ?
I was right in the translation part, but I got wrong in the answer. I answered "it will be equal when we also get the reciprocal of c + d" which did not make any sense at all. I wonder if the right answer is "if c and d are 1, then they will also be equal to the reciprocals." but I am not really sure.
