Help me simplify this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{10}{5b+4}+\frac{6}{2b-3}=\frac{10(2b-3)+6(5b+4)}{(5b+4)(2b-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then remove the parentheses in the numerator using the distributive property, and combine like terms to get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw this is not called "simplify" this is called "add"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you find the common denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't "find" one, i wrote one \[\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd}\] i wrote the two denominators as a product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thank you so much. and sorry for all my mistakes.
