\frac{3}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{5\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right) and x-3 is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{5}{x-3} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{3+5\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Since \frac{3}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{5\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3+5x+5}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3+5\left(x+1\right).
\frac{8+5x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
