              Oh no I hate this kind of math. Sorry I pass, but how important is it to solve? Hope Mystery got any success. Go Girl!

                      I like algebra and equations (is algebra and equations the same?)... But I can't really remember how this one...I had some problems with it when I was learning it... lol

                      @Lilli, good to see you too!

                          I learnt something like this, but I don't remember the rest!!! I learnt this when I was about (maybe a month before) to end my school year...

                            It is not that easy on the forums, because it is hard to write algebra on it

                            But well, first you have to multiply by both denominators, so you get

                            (b-a) x (1+a/b) = (b+a) x (1-a/b)

                            then solve the equations:
                            b+ab/b-a-a^2/b = b-ab/b+a-a^2/b

                            next step is to reduce the fractions (e.g. ab/b=a)

                            So you get:
                            b+a-a-a^2/b = b-a+a-a^2/b

                            Or shorter:
                            b-a^2/b=b-a^2/b

                            Hope it's more or less clear (and I didn't make a typo), otherwise ask.
