To add or subtract mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. Then, perform the addition or subtraction operation on the numerators while keeping the denominators the same. Next, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to lowest terms. Finally, if needed, convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number for the final answer.
