Staff Review
This lesson starts off with a review of how to add and subtract rational expressions that have the same denominator and goes on to explain how to add and subtract these algebraic fractions that have different denominators. This uses the newly-learned skill of finding LCDs for rational expressions. This is a great tutorial for learning to add and subtract without common denominators.
