Question

find a +b where a and b are 0 and 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Given: a and b are integers, and b > 0

Target question: Does (a - 1)/(b + 1) = a/b?

This is a good candidate for rephrasing the target question.

Take the equation: (a - 1)/(b + 1) = a/b

Cross multiply to get: (b)(a - 1) = (a)(b + 1)

Expand both sides to get: ab - b = ab + a

Subtract ab from both sides to get: -b = a

Add b to both sides to get: 0 = a + b

REPHRASED target question: Does a +b = 0?
