Since this is addition of two fractions, you must first find a common denominator. Begin by factoring the second denominator:

The LCD must have all factors of the denominators, and this will be (x-2)*(x-6). The second fraction already has the common denominator, but you will have to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the missing factor (x-6).

Multiply the numerators out and add them together, and divide by the LCD:
