step 4 Write the fractions 17/2 and 15/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/2 + 15/14
= [(17 x 14)/(2 x 14)] + [(15 x 14)/(14 x 14)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 119/14 + 15/14

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/14 x (119/1 + 15/1)
= 1/14 x (119 + 15)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/14 x 134
= 134/14
= 67/7
