To add the rational expressions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. The LCM of and is because is a factor of .Now, we rewrite each fraction with the common denominator: Next, we combine the numerators over the common denominator: Simplify the numerator: So, the expression becomes: Factor out the common factor in the numerator: Thus, the fully factored form of the expression is:
