Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{ab}{b+a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{a}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ( express the sum on the left as a single fraction )

[tex]\frac{b+a}{ab}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)

x = [tex]\frac{ab}{b+a}[/tex]
