\frac{\left(2x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}+\frac{\left(8x-4\right)\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and x+1 is \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{2x-2}{x+4} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}. Multiply \frac{8x-4}{x+1} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}.
\frac{\left(2x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)+\left(8x-4\right)\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{\left(2x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{\left(8x-4\right)\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x^{2}+2x-2x-2+8x^{2}+32x-4x-16}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(2x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)+\left(8x-4\right)\left(x+4\right).
