Step 1We can't add two fractions with different denominators (the bottom number). So you need to get a common denominator - both bottom numbers need to match. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator. So we multiply 97 by 7, and get 679, then we multiply 75 by 7 and get 525. Do the same for the second term. We multiply 5 by 75, and get 375, then multiply 75 by 7 and get 525. So now our fractions look like this:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 679 + 375 = 1054 So the answer is:
