\frac{2\left(a+1\right)}{6a}+\frac{3\left(a-3\right)}{6a}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 3a and 2a is 6a. Multiply \frac{a+1}{3a} times \frac{2}{2}. Multiply \frac{a-3}{2a} times \frac{3}{3}.
\frac{2\left(a+1\right)+3\left(a-3\right)}{6a}
Since \frac{2\left(a+1\right)}{6a} and \frac{3\left(a-3\right)}{6a} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2a+2+3a-9}{6a}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(a+1\right)+3\left(a-3\right).
\frac{5a-7}{6a}
Combine like terms in 2a+2+3a-9.
