Step 1Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term. So, we multiply 3 by 11, and get 33, then we multiply 64 by 11 and get 704. Now for the second term. You multiply 5 by 64, and get 320, then multiply 64 by 11 and get 704. We now have a new problem, that looks like this:
