What are the steps for adding two fractions that have the same signs?

You add the top numbers together and keep the denominator the same if the denominator is already both the same. If not, make sure the denominatoris the same first

Ex: 3/4+6/8=6/8+6/8=12/8=1 4/8=1 1/2

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
