A2 Chem - Overall Chemical Equation?

I have this question:
A reaction occurred in the following steps:
A + B -> C (Slow)
C -> E + F (Fast)

What is the overall chemical equation for the reaction?

I think I'm over-complicating this quite a lot but I really don't know what the question is asking for...

Any help appreciated! :smile:

A+B -> E+F as C is created and consumed by the reaction. It can't appear in the overall equation.

Thank-you! :smile: That is actually really simple...I have a real knack for over-complicating things!
