#26 9/10+72 5/6=99 11/15#

#26 9/10+72 5/6#

= #26+9/10+72+5/6#

= #26+72+9/10+5/6#

= #98+9/10+5/6#

Now as the LCD of denominators #10# and #6# is #30#, we can write this as

#98+(9xx3)/(10xx3)+(5xx5)/(6xx5)#

= #98+27/30+25/30#

= #98+(27+25)/30#

= #98+52/30=98+(30+22)/30#

= #98+30/30+22/30#

= #98+1+11/15#

= #99 11/15#
