\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{6 (2)/(7) + 7(1)/(2)}


\mathsf{= (6*7 + 2)/(7) + (7*2+1)/(2)}


\mathsf{= (42 + 2)/(7) + (14 + 1)/(2)}


\mathsf{= (44)/(7) + (15)/(2)}


\mathsf{= (44)/(7)*(2)/(2) + (15)/(2)*(7)/(7)}


\mathsf{= (44*2)/(7*2) + (15*7)/(2*7)}


\mathsf{= (88)/(14) + (105)/(14)}


\mathsf{= (88 + 105)/(14 - 0)}


\mathsf{= (193)/(14)}


\mathsf{\approx 13 (11)/(14)}


\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be: }


\huge\boxed{\frak{13 (11)/(14)}}\huge\checkmark
