This independent practice worksheet helps students master the addition and subtraction of rational expressions through ten varied algebraic problems.

1. $\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

2. $\frac{6x}{4} + \frac{4y}{2} = \frac{3x}{2} + 2y$

3. $\frac{5h}{3} + \frac{9h}{2} = \frac{37h}{6}$

4. $\frac{10r}{7} + \frac{8}{10} = \frac{10r}{7} + \frac{4}{5}$

5. $\frac{12}{v} - \frac{12}{v} = 0$

6. $\frac{2t}{3} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{2t}{3} + \frac{1}{3}$

7. $\frac{2t}{5} + \frac{2t}{7} = \frac{24t}{35}$

8. $\frac{8}{m^2} - \frac{4}{m^3} = \frac{8m - 4}{m^3}$

9. $\frac{2}{b^2} - \frac{3}{b} = \frac{2 - 3b}{b^2}$

10. $\frac{12}{9} - \frac{4}{9} = \frac{8}{9}$
