\n" ); document.write( "Add:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2Fxy+%2B+6%2Fxy\"$ Do you see that both fractions have a common denominator of xy? So we can just add the numerators and the result goes over the common denominator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2Fxy+%2B+6%2Fxy+=+%284%2B6%29%2Fxy\"$ = $\"10%2Fxy\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
