Question

Will someone please explain the procedure of doing this problem thoroughly ( see attached)

Answer 1

the way to go when summing fractions is to put everything on a same fraction.
that is possible when they have the same denominator.

you have to start by finding a "simple" expression that is a multiple of all the denominators that you see . (\(3a\), \(4\), \(6a^2\)).

ok so far? do you see such a multiple ? (for example, \(24a^2 \) is such a multiple, but there is simpler.)
