\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-4\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-4 is \left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{x-2}{x+3} times \frac{x-4}{x-4}. Multiply \frac{x-2}{x-4} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.
\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)+\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}-4x-2x+8+x^{2}+3x-2x-6}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)+\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{2x^{2}-5x+2}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}-4x-2x+8+x^{2}+3x-2x-6.
\frac{2x^{2}-5x+2}{x^{2}-x-12}
Expand \left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-4\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-4 is \left(x-4\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{x-2}{x+3} times \frac{x-4}{x-4}. Multiply \frac{x-2}{x-4} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.
