Simplify the sum and state any restrictions on variable.
(x-2/x+3) + (10x/x^2-9)
------
Least common divisor: (x-3)(x+3)
------
Write each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
----
((x-2)(x-3)/lcd] + [10x/lcd]
-----
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
------
= (x^2-5x+6+10x)/lcd
-----
Simplify:
----
= (x^2+5x+6)/[(x+3)(x-3)]
-----
Factor:
= [(x+3)(x+2)]/[(x+3)(x-3)]
-------
= (x+2)/(x-3)
