begin mathsize 16px style We space have comma
straight a space equals space straight b space minus space straight c space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis
straight b space equals space straight c space minus space straight d space... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
straight c space equals space straight d space minus space straight a space... left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis
Adding space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis comma left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis space and space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis comma space we space get
straight c space equals space minus 2 straight a
Putting space straight c space equals negative 2 straight a comma space in space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis space comma space we space get
straight a space equals space straight b space minus space left parenthesis space minus 2 straight a right parenthesis space
rightwards double arrow straight b space equals space minus straight a space
Putting space straight b equals negative straight a comma space in space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis space comma space we space get
straight c space equals space straight d space minus space straight a
rightwards double arrow negative 2 straight a space equals space straight d space minus space straight a
rightwards double arrow straight d space equals negative straight a
Substituting space the space values space of space straight b comma space straight c space and space straight d space in space straight a over straight b space plus space straight b over straight c space plus space straight c over straight d space plus space straight d over straight a comma space we space get
straight a over straight b space plus space straight b over straight c space plus space straight c over straight d space plus space straight d over straight a
equals space fraction numerator straight a over denominator negative straight a end fraction space plus space fraction numerator negative straight a over denominator negative 2 straight a end fraction space plus space fraction numerator negative 2 straight a over denominator negative straight a end fraction space plus space fraction numerator negative straight a over denominator straight a end fraction
equals space minus 1 space plus space 1 half plus space 2 space minus 1 space equals space 1 half
