\frac{30a}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}+\frac{4}{3a-1}-\frac{5}{3a+1}
Factor 9a^{2}-1.
\frac{30a}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}+\frac{4\left(3a+1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}-\frac{5}{3a+1}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right) and 3a-1 is \left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right). Multiply \frac{4}{3a-1} times \frac{3a+1}{3a+1}.
\frac{30a+4\left(3a+1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}-\frac{5}{3a+1}
Since \frac{30a}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)} and \frac{4\left(3a+1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{30a+12a+4}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}-\frac{5}{3a+1}
Do the multiplications in 30a+4\left(3a+1\right).
\frac{42a+4}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}-\frac{5}{3a+1}
Combine like terms in 30a+12a+4.
\frac{42a+4}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}-\frac{5\left(3a-1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right) and 3a+1 is \left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right). Multiply \frac{5}{3a+1} times \frac{3a-1}{3a-1}.
\frac{42a+4-5\left(3a-1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}
Since \frac{42a+4}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)} and \frac{5\left(3a-1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{42a+4-15a+5}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 42a+4-5\left(3a-1\right).
\frac{27a+9}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}
Combine like terms in 42a+4-15a+5.
\frac{9\left(3a+1\right)}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{27a+9}{\left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right)}.
\frac{9}{3a-1}
Cancel out 3a+1 in both numerator and denominator.
