Euler-Lagrange for summation of integrations

Given integration
E = \int_{a}^{b} A(x,y,y')dx
Using Euler - Lagrange equation we can find the necessary condition for
an extremum
dA/dy-d/dx dA/dy' = 0
Now consider two integrations with two different limits
E = \int_{a}^{b} A(x,y,y')dx + \int_{c}^{d} B(x,y,y')dx
What would be the corresponding Euler lagrange equation(s)? Is it
simply the following?
dA/dy-d/dx dA/dy' = 0
dB/dy-d/dx dB/dy' = 0
Or in a single equation
dA/dy-d/dx dA/dy' + dB/dy-d/dx dB/dy' = 0
Any help or pointers to books is highly appreciated.
Thanks
