Recall that:


(a)/(b)+(c)/(b)=(a+c)/(b)\text{.}

Therefore we can rewrite the given expression as follows:


(5x+2+x+3)/(6x+5)\text{.}

Adding like terms we get:


(6x+5)/(6x+5)\text{.}

Finally, assuming that:


x\\e-(5)/(6),

we get that:


(6x+5)/(6x+5)=1.

Answer:


(5x+2)/(6x+5)+(x+3)/(6x+5)=1.
