You find the common denominator, convert, and add the numerators. If the two denominators have no factors in common, then the lowest common denominator is simply the product of the two denominators.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have a simple proportion. Cross-multiply, collect like terms, and then solve the resulting quadratic.
