\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{x+3}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 4\left(x+3\right) and 4\left(x-1\right) is 4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{3}{4\left(x+3\right)} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{1}{4\left(x-1\right)} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)+x+3}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{x+3}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x-3+x+3}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x-1\right)+x+3.
\frac{4x}{4\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x-3+x+3.
\frac{x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right).
