you have to find a common denominator first, then you can just add them together and get your answer
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, it is necessary to find a common denominator to solve the equation. A common denominator is like a common multiple, except its function is as the bottom number in a fraction.
A common denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators.
You basically have to learn separately how to do different things with fractions, including finding a common denominator; converting fractions to a different denominator; simplifying fractions; adding and subtracting fractions; multiplying fractions; dividing fractions.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

First find a common denominator. Then, add the numerators together. Simplify if possible.
Find the lowest common denominator by finding the lowest common multiple of the denominators
When subtracting you have to make sure that the second numerator is multiplied by -1 so the equation turns into adding. When you add and you already have a common denominator you add the numerators and leave the denominator the same.
There isn't a universal answer to all problems. What you should try to do is find the lowest common denominator between the fractions you are adding.
Yes, but the numerator is different,same as adding fractions
Adding fractions involves combining two or more fractions with a common or different denominator. To add fractions with a common denominator, simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. If the denominators are different, you must first find a common denominator, convert each fraction accordingly, and then add the numerators. The result is typically simplified if possible.
The denominators must be the same, the numerators can be different.
