How can I explain how you can add two fractions with denominators of 10 and end up with a sum whose denominator is 5 please help me

If the two numerators add to an even number (x) then that number and the denominator (10) can both be divided by two leaving you with x/2 over 5 because (x/2)/5 is equivalent to x/10
