Please help! Will fan and medal!!! Jayden and Alexa were asked if 6C2 + 6C3 = 7C3 is true. Their calculations showed it was not true, but they both made mistakes in their calculations. Explain and correct their mistakes. I already corrected jaydens mistakes, but i cant figure out how to fix Alexa's. So please help. Alexa added the fractions by using the LCD (least common denominator). Ill type her work in the comments
