Solving Boolean Algebra Problems: A+B = A+B

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a Boolean algebra problem, specifically simplifying the expression A + B using Boolean identities. The user attempts various steps, including manipulating terms like A + /A(A + B) and A + /AA, but encounters confusion regarding the simplification process. A key point raised is the importance of only altering the left-hand side (LHS) until it equals the right-hand side (RHS). Additionally, there is clarification needed on the interpretation of terms like /AA. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of Boolean identities to accurately solve problems.

Hello,
Im trying to understand boolean algebra, I have to do the next problem using Boolean algebra and Identities for this one:

So far this what I got:
A + /A (A+B) = A + B
A + /AA + /AB = A+B
A + A + /AB = A + B
A + A + B = A + B <-- I think A + A = A so ..
A + B = A + B <-- I am not sure what to do after this

hello luigihs! :smile:

first, you should only be altering the LHS (until it equals the RHS, of course)

second, /AA is not A … what is it? :wink:
