You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Just as you would do with any fractions you want to add.
Form each into equivalent for the (lowest) common denominator, do the adding and then simplify.

(x+2)/(x^2+3x+2) + (3)/(x^2-4)

%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B3x%2B2%29+%2B+%283%29%2F%28x%5E2-4%29

%28x%2B2%29%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B2%29%29%2B3%2F%28%28x-2%29%28x%2B2%29%29

Can you continue from that or still need more?
