You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(u+x)/ux^2 + (5u+x)/u^2x
-----
least common denominator: u^2x^2
----
Rewrite each term with the lcd as its denominator:
---
[(u+x)u/lcd] + [(5u+x)*x/lcd]
-----
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
[u^2+ux + 5ux+x^2]/lcd
-----
= [u^2+6ux+x^2]/u^2x^2
---------
