Numerator:%286%2F%28x%5E2-x-12%29%29%2B%281%2F%28x%2B3%29%29%29
Denominator: 1%2B1%2F%28x%2B3%29
Let's factor first then simplify.
Numerator:%286%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B3%29%29%29%2B%281%2F%28x%2B3%29%29%29
Denominator: 1%2B1%2F%28x%2B3%29
Multiply numerator and denominator by %28x%2B3%29.
Numerator:
Denominator: %28x%2B3%29%2B1=x%2B4
Now put it all together.
