✅ Correct. The solution provided in the image correctly simplifies the complex fraction. Explanation: The steps shown accurately apply algebraic properties: Multiplicative Identity is used to express terms with a common denominator. The Golden Rule (multiplying numerator and denominator by the same non-zero value) is applied to find common denominators for the sub-fractions. The Distribution Law (factoring out the common denominator (1)/(ab)) is used to combine the terms in the numerator and denominator. Finally, the Cancellation Law is applied to cancel the common factor (1)/(ab) from the main numerator and denominator, leading to the correct simplified form. The final answer (b-a)/(ab-1) is correct. Drop the next question.
