Lesson 6: Adding and Subtracting
(Similar) Rational Expressions
Objectives:
Performs operations on rational algebraic
expressions. (M8AL-Ic-d-1)
Solves problems involving rational algebraic
expressions. (M8AL-Id-2)
Adding/Subtracting Similar Rational Expression

Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator.

In adding or subtracting similar fractions, simply add the numerator and copy
the common denominator. Lastly, simplify the result.

 Steps in Adding Similar Rational Expressions

1) Add or subtract the numerators.
2) Copy the common denominator.
3) Simplify the result.
