Of course to add fractions we must have common denominators: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "which simplifies: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now we can add: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Since \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "We now have a simplified, one-term expression on the left.
