You can put this solution on YOUR website! x/(x+1)^2 + 2/X+1
--------------------
least common denominator: (x+1)^2
--------------
Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
x/(x+1)^2 becomes x/lcd
2/(x+1) becomes 2(x+1)/lcd
---
The problem is now:
x/lcd + 2(x+1)/lcd
----
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
(x+2(x+1))/lcd
---
(3x+2)/(x+1)^2
