Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple

Step  1  :

             7
 Simplify   ——
            22

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   5     7
  —— +  ——
  33    22

Step  2  :

             5
 Simplify   ——
            33

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   5     7
  —— +  ——
  33    22

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       33 

      The right denominator is :       22 

      Least Common Multiple:
      66 

Calculating Multipliers :

 3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 2

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)²   and  (y²+y)/(y+1)³  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      5 • 2
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M              66  

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      7 • 3
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M              66  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.4       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:

 5 • 2 + 7 • 3     31
 —————————————  =  ——
      66           66

Final result :

  31           
  —— = 0.46970 
  66
