(x+5)^2/(x^2+2x-15)+2/(4x-12)
factor denominator of first term and denominator of second term
(x+5)^2/(x+5)(x-3)+2/4(x-3)
(x+5)/(x-3)+1/2(x-3)
LCD or LCM =2(x-3)
multiplying each term by the LCD, combining like terms for the numerator, and placing the LCD in the denominator
(2(x+5)+1)/2(x-3)
2x+10+1/2(x-3)
ans: 2x+11/2(x-3) or (2x+11)/(2x-6)
