Step 1Of course, you can't add two fractions if the denominators (bottom numbers) don't match. To get a common denominator, multiply the denominators together. Then we fix the numerators by multiplying each one by their other term's denominator. Now you multiply 70 by 10, and get 700, then we multiply 51 by 10 and get 510. Do the same for the second term. We multiply 7 by 51, and get 357, then multiply 51 by 10 and get 510. The problem now has new fractions to add:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 700 + 357 = 1057 This yields the answer
