First, let’s convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. For , multiply the whole number 9 by 12 and add 10, which gives us . For , we multiply 2 by 3 and add 1, resulting in .

Now we need a common denominator to add the two fractions. The least common denominator of 12 and 3 is 12. We can convert to have the same denominator: .

Now we add the two fractions together:

Next, we can simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

Now, we can convert into a mixed number. Dividing 73 by 6 gives us 12 as the whole number and a remainder of 1. Thus, we write this as:

Therefore,
