P + 3 Q + 5 R + 1 5 S = 1 + 3 + 5 1
The equation above holds true for P = B A , where A and B are positive coprime integers. Find A + B .

nice and understandable solution sir
Did by the same way.
1 + 3 + 5 1 = ( 1 + 3 + 5 ) ( 1 + 3 − 5 ) ( 1 − 3 + 5 ) ( − 1 + 3 + 5 ) ( 1 + 3 − 5 ) ( 1 − 3 + 5 ) ( − 1 + 3 + 5 ) = 1 1 7 + 3 3 − 5 − 2 1 5
(Note that P , Q , R , S are rational numbers, or there will be infinite solutions, so perhaps you should add this in your problem)

1 + 3 + 5 1 = ( 1 + 3 + 5 ) ( 1 + 3 − 5 ) 1 + 3 − 5 = 2 3 − 1 1 + 3 − 5 = ( 2 3 − 1 ) ( 2 3 + 1 ) ( 1 + 3 − 5 ) ( 2 3 + 1 ) = 1 1 7 + 3 3 − 5 − 2 1 5
Therefore P = 1 1 7 and A + B = 7 + 1 1 = 1 8 .
