To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator,
simply add or subtract the numerators. The denominator
remains the same.

𝑎 𝑐 𝑎+𝑐 𝑎 𝑐 𝑎−𝑐
+ = − =

𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑏 ≠ 0

To add or subtract fractions with different denominators,
convert the fractions to equivalent forms with the same
denominator.

This require looking for the LCD (Least Common Denominator)


of the fractions.
