yes, but you have to make them like terms first. so say you have 1/3 and 1/4. you need to get them to be like, so their denominator must be the same. 12 is their lowest common denominator, so you multiply 1/3 by 4/4 which gives you 4/12 and 1/4 by 3/3 which gives you 3/12. now you can add the two results together and you will get 7/12. Hope i helped!
What else can I help you with?
When subtracting what to do with the exponents?
It depends on whether you are working with variables. You cannot add terms with variables that have unlike exponents.
When can you add or subtract coefficients?
You can add and subtract coefficients when they occur in like terms, which means they have the same variable. 2x + 3x = 5x (This addition can take place because all of the variables are x, and are therefore like terms.) and 5y - 2y = 3y (This subtraction can take place because all of the variables are y, and are therefore like terms.) However, if the variables differ, they are unlike terms, and you cannot add or subtract the coefficients. For example: 2a + 3b cannot be added because a and b are different variables, and therefore unlike terms. 3c - 2d cannot occur because c and d are different variables, and therefore unlike terms..
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
Are 6 and 9y unlike terms?
Yes, 6 and 9y are unlike terms. The 6 is a constant and 9y is constant attached to a variable.
What is unlike terms of algebraic expression?
Terms with different powers of the variable.
What terms cannot be added?
Unlike terms can't be add together as for example 2x and 3y

Can you subtract unlike terms?
No. You can't subtract unlike terms
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.

If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
Hellllp meee. How do you add polynomials when you don't have any like terms?
Hellllp meee, how do you add polynomials when you don't have any like terms is a very common questions when it comes to this type of math. However, the polynomials can only be added if all terms are alike. No unlike terms can be added within the polynomials.
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?

Yes, 6 and 9y are unlike terms. The 6 is a constant and 9y is constant attached to a variable.
Whats an example of an unlike term?
For example x and y are unlike terms
