\frac{a+1}{2a}+\frac{3}{4\left(a+2\right)}
Factor 4a+8.
\frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)}{4a\left(a+2\right)}+\frac{3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2a and 4\left(a+2\right) is 4a\left(a+2\right). Multiply \frac{a+1}{2a} times \frac{2\left(a+2\right)}{2\left(a+2\right)}. Multiply \frac{3}{4\left(a+2\right)} times \frac{a}{a}.
\frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)+3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)}{4a\left(a+2\right)} and \frac{3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2a^{2}+4a+2a+4+3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)+3a.
\frac{2a^{2}+9a+4}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 2a^{2}+4a+2a+4+3a.
\frac{2a^{2}+9a+4}{4a^{2}+8a}
Expand 4a\left(a+2\right).
\frac{a+1}{2a}+\frac{3}{4\left(a+2\right)}
Factor 4a+8.
\frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)}{4a\left(a+2\right)}+\frac{3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2a and 4\left(a+2\right) is 4a\left(a+2\right). Multiply \frac{a+1}{2a} times \frac{2\left(a+2\right)}{2\left(a+2\right)}. Multiply \frac{3}{4\left(a+2\right)} times \frac{a}{a}.
\frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)+3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)}{4a\left(a+2\right)} and \frac{3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2a^{2}+4a+2a+4+3a}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(a+1\right)\times 2\left(a+2\right)+3a.
\frac{2a^{2}+9a+4}{4a\left(a+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 2a^{2}+4a+2a+4+3a.
\frac{2a^{2}+9a+4}{4a^{2}+8a}
Expand 4a\left(a+2\right).
