Solve the following exercise:
To solve this problem, we need to add the fractions and by finding a common denominator.
First, we identify the least common denominator (LCD). The LCD of 3 and 9 is 9. We must convert to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 9.
To convert , we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3 (since ), giving us:
Now, we can add the fractions:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
