Answer:

13/15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find a common denominator. 10 x 3 and 6 x 5 both equal 30, so 30 can be used as a common denominator. You also have to multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied in the denominator. Since we did 10 x 3, do 7 x 3, and with the other fraction we did 6 x 5, so do 1 x 5. You should get 21/30 + 5/30. Since they have the same denominator, you can add them. You'll get 26/30, which can still be simplified. 30 divided by 2 is 15, and 26 divided by 2 is 13. The final answer is 13/15.
