Hello!
![\large\boxed{x + 2}](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/xng4k9iqylb614obq3mfzj77xq12infn8z.png)
![(2x^(2) +x)/(2x-2) + (x-4)/(2x-2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/5ixvk6svx34533ty35ewplmbudqossmmdp.png)
The denominators are equal, so we can simply combine the numerator:
![(2x^(2) +x+ x - 4)/(2x-2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/z4ne05xfocn8jvqz3n6uix8leq7cil55te.png)
Combine like terms in the numerator:
![(2x^(2) +2x - 4)/(2x-2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/838uimz780mnifov3dkivw7jdidwikc4iv.png)
Factor out 2 from the entire fraction:
![(2(x^(2) +x - 2))/(2(x-1))](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/6zh2o0yhw3881jwpdl7a87f11op0j7noc2.png)
Cancel out 2 from both the numerator and denominator:
![(x^(2) +x - 2)/(x-1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8xujcohyuhobyja71q4xsbaxxt0ijin2pf.png)
Factor the numerator to simplify further:
![((x + 2)(x - 1))/(x-1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/379co6dtbmapbrw3td6ffrh7dmyirifkdo.png)
Cancel out x - 1:
