Question

How do you simplify `(8y+3)/6+(11y+10)/6`?

Answer 1

`=(19y +13)/6`

This cannot be simplified further.

Explanation:

To be able to add or subtract fractions we need to have a common denominator. In this case the denominators are already the same so we can just combine the two fractions into one.

`(8y +3)/6 + (11y +10)/6`

`=(8y+3+11y+10)/6`

`=(19y +13)/6`
