= [(7 x 18)/(6 x 18)] + [(13 x 18)/(18 x 18)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 21/18 + 13/18

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/18 x (21/1 + 13/1)
= 1/18 x (21 + 13)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/18 x 34
= 34/18
= 17/9
