LCD = 6363

6
Make the denominators the same as the LCD.
7+4×79×7+2×97×97+\frac{4\times 7}{9\times 7}+\frac{2\times 9}{7\times 9}

7
Simplify. Denominators are now the same.
7+2863+18637+\frac{28}{63}+\frac{18}{63}

8
Join the denominators.
7+28+18637+\frac{28+18}{63}

9
Simplify  3+49+4+273+\frac{4}{9}+4+\frac{2}{7}  to  746637\frac{46}{63}.
58774663\frac{58}{7}-7\frac{46}{63}

10
Convert 746637\frac{46}{63} to improper fraction. Use this rule: abc=ac+bca \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}.
5877×63+4663\frac{58}{7}-\frac{7\times 63+46}{63}

11
Simplify  7×637\times 63  to  441441.
587441+4663\frac{58}{7}-\frac{441+46}{63}

12
Simplify  441+46441+46  to  487487.
58748763\frac{58}{7}-\frac{487}{63}

13

LCD = 6363

14
Make the denominators the same as the LCD.
58×97×948763\frac{58\times 9}{7\times 9}-\frac{487}{63}

15
Simplify. Denominators are now the same.
5226348763\frac{522}{63}-\frac{487}{63}

16
Join the denominators.
52248763\frac{522-487}{63}

17
Simplify.
3563\frac{35}{63}

18
