Show that if $a_1b_2 − a_2b_1 = \pm 1$, then the gcd of $(a_1 + a_2, b_1 + b_2) = 1$

Show that if $a_1b_2 − a_2b_1 = \pm 1$, then the gcd of $(a_1 + a_2, b_1 + b_2) = 1$. I don't know how to deduce that. Can someone help me?

HINT:

$$b_1(a_1+a_2)-a_1(b_1+b_2)=?$$

OR

$$b_2(a_1+a_2)-a_2(b_1+b_2)=?$$
