\frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{4\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{2}{x+3} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{4}{x-1} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.
\frac{2\left(x-1\right)+4\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{4\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x-2+4x+12}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(x-1\right)+4\left(x+3\right).
\frac{6x+10}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x-2+4x+12.
\frac{6x+10}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right).
