I'm assuming you want to simplify.


You do so by getting each denominator equal to the LCD, which in this case is 15x, and then combining the fractions.


4%2F15%2B8%2Fx


%284x%29%2F%2815x%29%2B8%2Fx


%284x%29%2F%2815x%29%2B%2815%2A8%29%2F%2815x%29


%284x%29%2F%2815x%29%2B%28120%29%2F%2815x%29


%284x%2B120%29%2F%2815x%29


So after simplifying, we get %284x%2B120%29%2F%2815x%29
