Hi, 

%28x%2F%28x-4%29%29+%2B+%283%2F%28x%2B1%29%29

simplifying by using (x-4)(x+1)as the common denomintor

%28%28x%28x%2B1%29%2B+3%28x-4%29%29%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B1%29%29%29

%28%28x%5E2+%2B+x+%2B+3x-12%29%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B1%29%29%29

%28%28x%5E2%2B+4x-12%29%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B1%29%29%29

%28%28%28x%2B6%29%28x-2%29%29%2F%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B1%29%29%29
