Hello!


\large\boxed{x + 2}


(2x^(2) +x)/(2x-2) + (x-4)/(2x-2)

The denominators are equal, so we can simply combine the numerator:


(2x^(2) +x+ x - 4)/(2x-2)

Combine like terms in the numerator:


(2x^(2) +2x - 4)/(2x-2)

Factor out 2 from the entire fraction:


(2(x^(2) +x - 2))/(2(x-1))

Cancel out 2 from both the numerator and denominator:


(x^(2) +x - 2)/(x-1)

Factor the numerator to simplify further:


((x + 2)(x - 1))/(x-1)

Cancel out x - 1:


x + 2
