Answer:
The first thing you do is make the denominators equal on both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
As a example if you have the equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] =
you would multiply the denominator by the smallest multiple. I would do 2 * 5= 10
this would make the equation
[tex]\frac{x}{10} + \frac{x}{10} = ...[/tex]
next you have to do the same with the numerator.
so sence you multiplied the [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by five you will get [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]
same with the other fraction except you multiplied it by two.[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x 2 = [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]
next you add and simplify if needed
