Question 6170
You have to get a common denominator for the denominators of 2 and 3.  The least common denominator for these numbers is 6.  

{{{31/2 + 42/3}}}


To convert the first denominator to 6ths, you must multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3, and to get the second denominator to 6ths, you must multiply numerator and denominator by 2:

{{{(31/2)*(3/3) + (42/3)*(2/2)}}}
{{{93/6 + 84/6}}}


Add numerators together:
{{{177/6}}}
