In this paper, we give an elementary proof of the additivity of the functional inverses of the resolvents of large N random matrices, using recently developed matrix model techniques. This proof also gives a very natural generalization of these formulas to the case of measures with an external field. A similar approach yields a relation of the same type for multiplication of random matrices.
