Express as a single fraction m - 3 + m+5

                                               6         2

solution

= m - 3 + m+5

      6          2

= m - 3 + 3(m+5)

            6         

= m - 3 + 3m+15

            6         

= m + 3m + 15- 3

            6         

= 4m +  12

         6         

= 4(m +  3)

         6         

= 2(m +  3)

         3         

= 2m +  6       answer

         3
