simplify (a+x)/(a-x)-(a-x)/(a+x)

simplify

\frac{a + x}{a - x} - \frac{a - x}{a + x}

\frac{4 a x}{( - x + a ) ( x + a )}

Solution steps

\frac{a + x}{a - x} - \frac{a - x}{a + x}

Least Common Multiplier of

a - x, a + x : (- x + a) (x + a)

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

= \frac{( a + x ) ^{2}}{( - x + a ) ( x + a )} - \frac{( a - x ) ^{2}}{( - x + a ) ( x + a )}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

= \frac{( a + x ) ^{2} - ( a - x ) ^{2}}{( - x + a ) ( x + a )}

Simplify

(a + x)^{2} - (a - x)^{2} : 4 a x

= \frac{4 a x}{( - x + a ) ( x + a )}
