OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make the denominators the same. Then multiply the numerator by whatever you multiplied the denominator by in each fraction. Then just expand/simplify. Check to see if anything cancels out.

No the common denominator would be the denominator of the first one times the denominator of the second one, like @primeralph said.
