Answer:

see below

Explanation:

you multiply bottom to find their LCM, which is the short form for “Least Common Multiple.” The least common multiple is defined as the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common.

then you convert fractions into improper fractions. An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than its denominator.

now that they have a common denominator, you just add the top up

then simplify
