Answer:

common denominator of 1/a + 1/b is ab

however simplifying the complex fraction gives: (b-a)/(b +a)

Explanation:

common denominator of 1/a + 1/b

should be the product of the denominators

a*b

so 1/a + 1/b = (b + a)/ab

ao

( 1/a - 1/b) divided by (1/a + 1/b) = (b - a)/(ab) divided by (b+a)/ab
