First, you will want to get the denominators of both fractions to be the same, the easiest way to do this is by multiplying the denominators, so 5 x 7 = 35
next you need to do the same for the numerators, so 2 x 7 = 14 and 2 x 5 = 10
now you have the equation 14/35 + 10/35
next, you add the numerators. so, 14 + 10 = 24
therefor, 2/5 + 2/7 =24/35
so your answer is 24/35
