\frac{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\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+3 and x-1 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{x+1}{x+3} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{x-3}{x-1} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}-x+x-1+x^{2}+3x-3x-9}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)+\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{2x^{2}-10}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}-x+x-1+x^{2}+3x-3x-9.
\frac{2x^{2}-10}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right).
