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 87 by 7, and get 609, then we multiply 100 by 7 and get 700. Now for the second term. You multiply 5 by 100, and get 500, then multiply 100 by 7 and get 700. We now have a new problem, that looks like this:
