%28x%2B3%29%2F%28x-6%29+%2B+%28x%5E%282%29%2B6x%29%2F%28x%5E%282%29-36%29
x^2 - 36, difference of squares, factors into:
(x+6)(x-6)
LCD is (x+6)(x-6)
%28x%2B3%29%2F%28x-6%29%2A+%28x%2B6%29%2F%28x%2B6%29 + %28x%5E2%2B6x%2F%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29%29
%28x%5E2+%2B+9x+%2B+18++%2B+x%5E2+%2B+6x%29+%2F+%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29
2x%5E2+%2B+15x+%2B+18+%2F+%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29 factor the top
%282x%2B3%29%28x%2B6%29%2F%28x%2B6%29%28x-6%29
(2x+3)/(x-6)
