Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression provided is:
Step 1: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators are 5 and 35. The LCD of 5 and 35 is 35.
Step 2: Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 35
For , multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 7 to get:
Now, the fractions are:
Step 3: Add the fractions
Since the denominators are the same, add the numerators:
Step 4: Simplify if possible
is already in its simplest form because 54 and 35 have no common factors other than 1.
