Adding and Subtracting Expressions with Like Denominators

The video tutorial from MooMoo Math explains how to add and subtract expressions with like denominators, focusing on fractions that include variables. It covers the process of bringing over the common denominator and performing operations on the numerators. The tutorial includes examples of both addition and subtraction, demonstrating how to simplify the results. It also addresses cases with multiple terms in the numerators, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

What is the first step when adding expressions with like denominators?

• Find a common denominator

• Add the numerators

• Multiply the denominators

• Subtract the numerators

In the expression a/4 + 3a/4, what is the simplified form?

• 5a/4

• 2a

• a/2

• 4a/4

When subtracting 11/4r - (-1/4r), what operation is performed on the numerators?
