The given expression is


(1)/(b)+(1)/(9)=(1)/(t)

First, we multiply the equation by t


\begin{gathered} ((1)/(b)+(1)/(9))\cdot t=(1)/(t)\cdot t \\ ((1)/(b)+(1)/(9))\cdot t=1 \end{gathered}

Now, we divide the equation by 1/b + 1/9


\begin{gathered} (((1)/(b)+(1)/(9))\cdot t)/(((1)/(b)+(1)/(9)))=(1)/(((1)/(b)+(1)/(9))) \\ t=(1)/(((1)/(b)+(1)/(9))) \end{gathered}

Now, we sum fractions


t=(1)/((9+b)/(9b))

Then, we solve this combined fraction


t=(9b\cdot1)/(9+b)=(9b)/(9+b)

Therefore, the final expression is


t=(9b)/(9+b)
