a = 3, b = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by getting a common denominator in the fractions and . You can multiply the first one by to get and you can multiply the second by to get . You can simplify the fractions:

-

-

Now we can rewrite the equation:

and combine the terms with the same denominator:

Now, to add the two into the fraction, we multiply it by to get .

And simplify:

a = 3, b = -18
