\frac{\frac{4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}+\frac{1}{x+2}}{\frac{1}{x-2}}
Factor x^{2}-4.
\frac{\frac{4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}+\frac{x-2}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}}{\frac{1}{x-2}}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right) and x+2 is \left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x+2} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}.
\frac{\frac{4+x-2}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}}{\frac{1}{x-2}}
Since \frac{4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{x-2}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{\frac{2+x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}}{\frac{1}{x-2}}
Combine like terms in 4+x-2.
\frac{\frac{1}{x-2}}{\frac{1}{x-2}}
Cancel out x+2 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x-2}{x-2}
Divide \frac{1}{x-2} by \frac{1}{x-2} by multiplying \frac{1}{x-2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{x-2}.
