    Here is a more pedantic approach to @amsmath's slick approach:



    Suppose we want to solve $(A^-1 + B^-1) x = A^-1x + B^-1 x = y$.



    Then $Ay=x + AB^-1 x $, and letting $x'=B^-1 x$ we get
    $Ay = B x' + A x' = (A+B)x'$ and so $x'= (A+B)^-1 Ay$ and finally
    $x=Bx' = B(A+B)^-1 Ay$.



    Hence $(A^-1 + B^-1)^-1 = B(A+B)^-1 A$.
