$13/12$

First we need to get common denominators to add these fractions.
A common denominator we can get is $42$ since both numbers can multiply to that.

$(2*7)/(6*7) + (2*6)/(7*6)$

$14/42 + 12/42$

Now we add the numerators, but keep the denominator the same.

$26/42$

Simplify both sides by taking out a $2$

$13/21$
