\frac{3\left(a+1\right)}{15}+\frac{5\left(2a-1\right)}{15}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Multiply \frac{a+1}{5} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{2a-1}{3} times \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{3\left(a+1\right)+5\left(2a-1\right)}{15}
Since \frac{3\left(a+1\right)}{15} and \frac{5\left(2a-1\right)}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3a+3+10a-5}{15}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(a+1\right)+5\left(2a-1\right).
\frac{13a-2}{15}
Combine like terms in 3a+3+10a-5.
