Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "5.5" was replaced by "(55/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   85           11
  (—— +  10) +  ——
   10           2 

Step  2  :

            17
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   17           11
  (—— +  10) +  ——
   2            2 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

          10     10 • 2
    10 =  ——  =  ——————
          1        2   

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 fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       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:

 17 + 10 • 2     37
 ———————————  =  ——
      2          2 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  37    11
  —— +  ——
  2     2 

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       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:

 37 + 11     24
 ———————  =  ——
    2        1 

Final result :

  24
