Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
4.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
6 6 • x
6 = — = —————
1 x
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
7 - (6 • x) 7 - 6x
——————————— = ——————

Equation at the end of step 5 :
(7 - 6x)
((———————— + 2x) - x2) - 8 = 0

Step 6 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
6.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x as the denominator :
2x 2x • x
2x = —— = ——————
1 x
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
6.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
