first, to add fractions, we need both with the same denominator. to change it we can multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator of a fraction.

in this case for example we can multiply each part of the fraction 14/3 by 2


(14\cdot2)/(3\cdot2)=(28)/(6)

and now we can add


(28)/(6)+(5)/(6)=(33)/(6)

and finally, we can simplify dividing 33 and 6 by 3


((33)/(3))/((6)/(3))=(11)/(2)

So the answer is: 11/2
