step 4 Write the fractions 7/6 and 8/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/6 + 8/15
= [(7 x 30)/(6 x 30)] + [(8 x 30)/(15 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 35/30 + 16/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (35/1 + 16/1)
= 1/30 x (35 + 16)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 51
= 51/30
= 17/10
7/6 + 8/15 = 17/10
