\frac{3\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\frac{2}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-4 and \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right) is \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{3}{x-4} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}.
\frac{3\left(x+5\right)+2}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{2}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x+15+2}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x+5\right)+2.
\frac{3x+17}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x+15+2.
\frac{3x+17}{x^{2}+x-20}
Expand \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right).
