Question: Add. begin fraction 7 over b + 3 end fraction + begin fraction 4 over b + 3 end fraction
1. **State the problem:** Add the two fractions $$\frac{7}{b+3} + \frac{4}{b+3}$$. 2. **Formula and rules:** When adding fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same: $$\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a+b}{c}$$ 3. **Apply the formula:** Since both fractions have the same denominator $$b+3$$, add the numerators: $$\frac{7}{b+3} + \frac{4}{b+3} = \frac{7+4}{b+3}$$ 4. **Simplify the numerator:** $$\frac{7+4}{b+3} = \frac{11}{b+3}$$ 5. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{\frac{11}{b+3}}$$ This is the sum of the two fractions.
