How do you go about adding polynomials with fractions in parantheses?

The problem is( 1/16x^2+1/8)+(¼x^2–3/10x-½). The answer is supposed to be 5/16x^2–3/10x-3/8. All I can figure out is that the numbers/fractions all need to be changed into least common denominator. Have no idea how to get to the next step to get this answer?Help.
