The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(6/35, 18/42) = 210
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 126 and 210 using
GCF(126,210) = 42
Therefore:⤵️
