\frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x+4}+\frac{x}{x-2}
Express 3\times \frac{x-3}{x+4} as a single fraction.
\frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}+\frac{x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and x-2 is \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x+4} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}. Multiply \frac{x}{x-2} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}.
\frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x^{2}-6x-9x+18+x^{2}+4x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+4\right).
\frac{4x^{2}-11x+18}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x^{2}-6x-9x+18+x^{2}+4x.
\frac{4x^{2}-11x+18}{x^{2}+2x-8}
Expand \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right).
\frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x+4}+\frac{x}{x-2}
Express 3\times \frac{x-3}{x+4} as a single fraction.
\frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}+\frac{x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and x-2 is \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{x+4} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}. Multiply \frac{x}{x-2} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}.
\frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{x\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x^{2}-6x-9x+18+x^{2}+4x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+4\right).
\frac{4x^{2}-11x+18}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x^{2}-6x-9x+18+x^{2}+4x.
\frac{4x^{2}-11x+18}{x^{2}+2x-8}
Expand \left(x-2\right)\left(x+4\right).
