How To: Add rational expressions

In this tutorial, we learn how to add rational expressions. When you have two rational expressions, you will first need to factor every denominator. After this, find the lowest common denominator from all of them. After this, rewrite every fraction so it has the lowest common denominator for the denominator. Leave it in factored form for the denominators. Multiply the top and the bottom to find the answer for each of the fractions in the equation. When finished, make sure you find the most si...

How To: Subtract rational expressions

In this tutorial, we learn how to subtract rational expressions. If they have different denominators, you will first need to get them the same denominator. To do this, you will need to find the lowest common denominator. Factor the denominators that you have and figure out what the lowest common denominator of each of them are. From here, you can simplify the rational expressions in your equations. Next, you can go across the board and subtract the fractions from each other. To finish this up...

How To: Add and subtract fractions with numerical examples

In this video, we learn how to add and subtract fractions with numerical examples. First, write down an example on a piece of paper to add two fractions together. To do this, you will write out the denominator in the common form and then add the numerators together. If you don't have common denominators you will have to find them. When subtracting, it's basically going to be the same process. Go through the same steps to figure out what the answer will be. Use the basic rules of math to get t...
