Since the denominators are equal, you can combine the numerators directly.

Then factor 5 out of the numerator

The second problem is the same. You have two equal denominators, so combine the two numerators and factor. Then simplify by eliminating common factors from the numerator and denominator. Hint: After you factor a 2 out of the numerator, you will have the difference of two squares.
