How do I solve these fractions?

Okay, so I’m doing my homework. It says: Simplify the following expressions.

Then it shows problems like:

a/3+b/3

and

5a/b-2a/b

What do I do?

Some of them are squared, too!

Thanks a ton!!!

If they have the same denominators like these do, just combine the numerators. Your first would be (a+b)/3 and second is 3a/b

a/3 + b/3

= (a + b)/3

5a/b – 2a/b

= 3a/b
