Step 1: Find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) between the denominators.

Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number so that they have the LCM as their new denominator.

Step 3: Add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Step 4: If the answer is an improper form, reduce the fraction into a mixed number.

I hope this helped!
