Add the rational expression as indicated be sure to express your answer in simplest form. By inspection, the least common denominator of the given factor is

Notice that the least common denominator is 9*2=18, therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x-3}{9}+\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{2(x-3)}{9\cdot2}+\frac{9(x+7)}{9\cdot2}, \\ \frac{x-3}{9}+\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{2x-6}{18}+\frac{9x+63}{18}, \\ \frac{x-3}{9}+\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{2x-6+9x+63}{18}, \\ \frac{x-3}{9}+\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{11x+57}{18}\text{.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer:
[tex]\frac{x-3}{9}+\frac{x+7}{2}=\frac{11x+57}{18}\text{.}[/tex]
