: Please help me solve this problem:
(2/3x^2 + 1/5x + 1/6) + (1/2x^2 - 1/3x + 2/3)
I realize the first step would be to combine the like terms and the next step would be to find the common denominators. However, after that, I'm lost. This question is from textbook

(2/3x^2 + 1/5x + 1/6) + (1/2x^2 - 1/3x + 2/3)
------
= (1/30)(20x^2 + 6x + 5) + (1/6)(3x^2 -2x + 4)
= (1/30)(20x^2 + 6x + 5) + (5/30)(3x^2 -2x + 4)
= (1/30)[20x^2 + 6x + 5) + (5)(3x^2 -2x + 4)]
= (1/30)[35x^2-4x+25]
