Step 1We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator. Now we multiply 95 by 10, and get 950, then we multiply 29 by 10 and get 290. Now for the second term. You multiply 7 by 29, and get 203, then multiply 29 by 10 and get 290. This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 950 + 203 = 1153 So what's the answer so far?
