Recall that to add or subtract fractions you need first to find a common denominator.

\n

Algebraically the rule for {action1} fractions is \\[\\simplify{a/b+ {s1}*(c/d)=(a*d+{s1}*b*c)/(b*d)}.\\]
In this case we have:
\\[\\simplify[std,!unitFactor]{{a} / {g} + ({s1*b} / {f}) = ({a} * {f} + {g} * {s1*b}) / ({g} * {f}) ={a*f+s1*g*b}/{g*f}}.\\]
Note that this fraction is in its lowest form as there are no common factors in the denominator and the numerator.
