The document explains how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. It provides examples of adding fractions like 3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 and subtracting fractions like 16/4 - 6/4 = 10/4. The key steps are to keep the same denominator and then add or subtract the numerators. The document ensures the reader understands the process by providing multiple examples and asking them to solve additional problems at the end.
