Question 1000611

3/x-3 + 2/x+5

Please help. I keep getting different answers when I add. May you please explain step by step. Thank you.
<pre>If {{{3/(x - 3) + 2/(x + 5)}}}, then:
{{{(3(x + 5) + 2(x - 3))/(x - 3)(x + 5)}}} -------- Multiplying by LCD, (x – 3)(x + 5)
{{{(3x + 15 + 2x - 6)/(x - 3)(x + 5)}}}
{{{(3x + 2x + 15 - 6)/(x - 3)(x + 5)}}}
{{{highlight_green((5x + 9)/(x^2 + 2x - 15))}}}
