%284x%29%2F%28x+%2B+1%29+%2B+%285%2F%282x+-+3%29%29+-+%284%2Fx%29
The first step is to get all the terms ovre a common denominator. For this problem, let's get everything over 1%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%282x-3%29%28x%29%29
So multiply all three terms by 1 which for us will be %28%28x%2B1%29%282x-3%29%28x%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%282x-3%29%28x%29%29
Then simplify each term. (cancel out where possible, then expand the numerators using distribution.
Then collect like terms.
Now you will have a numerator over a denominator of %28%28x%2B1%29%282x-3%29%28x%29%29
Simplify that and get your answer.
If you can;t get there, let me know and we will solve it step by step. But you asked how to get started - I bet you can take it from there
