Do you remember that we cannot add fractions when they have unlike denominators? We can onyl add fractions as long as they have the same denominator!
So here's the big idea: fractions must have the same denominator.
If we multiply the first fraction by 2, then both fractions will have the same denominator. *
* <em>Why 2??</em>

- Because:
We need to find the least common multiple of 3 and 6, which is 6. Next, what should 3 be multiplied by to result in 6? That's right, 2.
Also, we can only multiply the denominator by 2 as long as we multiply the numerator by 2!
So that's why we multiply the whole fraction by 2
