One can simplify 5/6 + 3/4 by simply following these steps:

Step 1 - Find the least common denominator (LCM).

5/6 + 3/4

The LCM is 12. We find this by multiplying 6 by 2 and 4 by 3. Then, multiply the same amount to the numerators.

10/12 + 9/12

Step 2 - Add the numerators.
10/2 + 9/12
19/12

* Make sure you keep the denominator the same *

Step 3 - Simplify
19/12 can be simplified into 1 and 7/12.

Therefore, 5/6 + 3/4 can be simplified into 19/12 (improper fraction) or 1 and 7/12 (mixed fraction).
