\frac{3x\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{\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 x-1 and x+3 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{3x}{x-1} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}. Multiply \frac{2}{x+3} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{3x\left(x+3\right)+2\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{3x\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x^{2}+9x+2x-2}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3x\left(x+3\right)+2\left(x-1\right).
\frac{3x^{2}+11x-2}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x^{2}+9x+2x-2.
\frac{3x^{2}+11x-2}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right).
