Addition and Subtraction mean:
Combine the terms into one term (if you can)
No, no, no, no, no!!!
If you can’t combine them (unlike terms)
they still are connected to each other.
Put binomials into a parentheses. )9(7

multiplying allows you to put all the factors together
in one numerator and one denominator so you can simplify.
