Adding and Subtracting Rational Numbers
To add fractions that have the same denominator:
. Use the common denominator for the sum.
. Add the numerators to get the numerator of the sum.
. Write the sum in simplest form.
To subtract fractions that have the same denominator:
. Use the common denominator for the difference.
. Subtract the numerators.
Subtraction is addition of an opposite.
. Write the difference in simplest form.
