If only we know how you did that or why you were worried about it. Alas...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator). Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator. Then add (or subtract) the fractions

Yes, those are your instructions. What you actually DID is a different story. The instructions do not tell us what you were thinking.
