\frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x+5}{x+1}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Factor x^{2}-x-2.
\frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right) and x+1 is \left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{x+5}{x+1} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}.
\frac{12+\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Since \frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{12+x^{2}-2x+5x-10}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Do the multiplications in 12+\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right).
\frac{2+x^{2}+3x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Combine like terms in 12+x^{2}-2x+5x-10.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{2+x^{2}+3x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{x+2}{x-2}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x+2+x-5}{x-2}
Since \frac{x+2}{x-2} and \frac{x-5}{x-2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x-3}{x-2}
Combine like terms in x+2+x-5.
\frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x+5}{x+1}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Factor x^{2}-x-2.
\frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right) and x+1 is \left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{x+5}{x+1} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}.
\frac{12+\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
Since \frac{12}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{12+x^{2}-2x+5x-10}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{x-5}{x-2}
