Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
29 - (37x) 29 - 37x
—————————— = ————————
10 10
(29 - 37x)
—————————— + 5
10
Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 10 as the denominator :
5 5 • 10
5 = — = ——————
1 10
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
(29-37x) + 5 • 10 79 - 37x
————————————————— = ————————
10 10
