\frac{x+5}{x-2}+\frac{x+1}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}
Factor x^{2}-6x+8.
\frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{x+1}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-2 and \left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right) is \left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right). Multiply \frac{x+5}{x-2} times \frac{x-4}{x-4}.
\frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-4\right)+x+1}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+5\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)} and \frac{x+1}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}-4x+5x-20+x+1}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+5\right)\left(x-4\right)+x+1.
\frac{x^{2}+2x-19}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}-4x+5x-20+x+1.
\frac{x^{2}+2x-19}{x^{2}-6x+8}
Expand \left(x-4\right)\left(x-2\right).
