\frac{2x+1}{x+2}+\frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-2.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}+\frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+2 and \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right) is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{2x+1}{x+2} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x^{2}-2x+x-1+3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+3x.
\frac{2x^{2}+2x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x^{2}-2x+x-1+3x.
\frac{2x^{2}+2x-1}{x^{2}+x-2}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right).
\frac{2x+1}{x+2}+\frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-2.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}+\frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+2 and \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right) is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{2x+1}{x+2} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x^{2}-2x+x-1+3x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(2x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+3x.
\frac{2x^{2}+2x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x^{2}-2x+x-1+3x.
\frac{2x^{2}+2x-1}{x^{2}+x-2}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right).
