Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To reduce any confusion later on in the problem the first step should getting the fractions to have an <em>equal denominator, </em>this can be done by finding the LCF, or <em>Least Common Factor. </em>
In this case the least common factor is
,
×
, and
×
; whatever you do to the <em>denominator</em> has to be done to the <em>numerator</em>
×
× 
Now that the denominators are equal, lets input the values into the original equation:

<em>add </em>
to both sides, to isolate the variable
<em>divide </em>
<em>both sides by </em>
, when you divide fractions you <em>multiply</em> by the <em>reciprocal</em> of the <em>divisor, then you multiply the numerators by the numerators and the denominators by the denominators. </em>
× 
,
× 
<em />
<em> </em>×<em> </em>
⇒
and
have a GCF, or<em> Greatest Common Factor</em> of
which simplifies the answer to:
