When x x x is added to both the numerator and denominator of the fraction
a b , a ≠ b , b ≠ 0 \frac{a}{b},a \ne b,b \ne 0 b a , a = b , b = 0 , the value of the fraction is changed to c d \frac{c}{d} d c .
Then x x x equals:
(A) 1 c − d (B) a d − b c c − d (C) a d − b c c + d (D) b c − a d c − d (E) b c + a d c − d \text{(A) } \frac{1}{c-d} \text{(B) } \frac{ad-bc}{c-d} \text{(C) } \frac{ad-bc}{c+d} \text{(D) }\frac{bc-ad}{c-d} \text{(E) } \frac{bc+ad}{c-d} (A) c − d 1 (B) c − d a d − b c (C) c + d a d − b c (D) c − d b c − a d (E) c − d b c + a d
