Find

The simplified form

Solution

There are a couple of possibilities, depending on whether you insist on a common denominator.

`(x+5)/(2)+(x+6)/(2)=((x+5)+(x+6))/(2)\\\\=(2x+11)/(2)\qquad\text{one possible representation of the sum}\\\\=x+(11)/(2)\qquad\text{another representation of the sum}`
