TO make things clearer, be sure to use parentheses especially in denominators of complex fractions.
I think this is the expression you're trying to simplify.
x%2B1%2F%28x%5E2-4%29+%2B+x%2F%283x%2B6%29
When adding/subtracting with fractions, you need a common denominator.
In this case, the first expression has a denominator of 1.
Second expression: x%5E2-4=%28x%2B2%29%28x-2%29
Third expression:3x%2B6=3%28x%2B2%29
So a common denominator would be %28x%2B2%29%28x-2%29.
