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:
