Answer:

D) The given expression
((3x)/(x+ 3))   + ((x+2)/(x)) = (4x^(2)   + 5x + 6)/((x+3)(x))

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is :
((3x)/(x+ 3))   + ((x+2)/(x))

Let us simplify the given expression be taking LCM of the denominator and making a common base denominator.

We get :
((3x)/(x+ 3))   + ((x+2)/(x))  = (3x(x)  + (x+2)(x+3))/((x+3)(x)) \\\implies(3x^(2)  +   (x+2)(x+3))/((x+3)(x))

Solving
(x+2) (x+3) = x^(2)  + 2x + 3x + (2)(3)  = x^(2)  + 5x + 6

Now, substitute the above value into the given expression :


(3x^(2)  +   (x+2)(x+3))/((x+3)(x)) \implies(3x^(2)  +   x^(2)  + 5x + 6)/((x+3)(x))\\= (4x^(2)   + 5x + 6)/((x+3)(x))

Hence, the given expression
((3x)/(x+ 3))   + ((x+2)/(x)) = (4x^(2)   + 5x + 6)/((x+3)(x))
