Solve 2/a+5/6=

$$\frac { 2 } { a } + \frac { 5 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{2}{a}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of a and 6 is 6a. Multiply \frac{2}{a} times \frac{6}{6}. Multiply \frac{5}{6} times \frac{a}{a}.

$$\frac{2\times 6}{6a}+\frac{5a}{6a}$$

Since \frac{2\times 6}{6a} and \frac{5a}{6a} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2\times 6+5a}{6a}$$

Do the multiplications in 2\times 6+5a.

$$\frac{12+5a}{6a}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5a+12}{6a}$$
