Since this becomes:

To simplify the fraction within a fraction we multiply the numerator and denominator of the "big" fraction by the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the "little" denominators. Since there is only one "little" denominator the LCD is simply that denominator, x:

In the numerator the x's cancel, leaving a 3. In the denominator we get 3x:

To add these fractions we need common denominators. The LCD of these two is 3x. So we multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by x/x:

Now we can add:

This fraction cannot be reduced. (The x's and the 3's are not factors and only factors can be canceled!) So we are finished.
