Given the complex fraction:

You can simplify it as follows:
1. Find the LCD (Least Common Denominator). In this case:

2. Multiply the numerator and the denominator of the complex fraction by the LCD, in order to get rid of the denominators of the fractions that form the complex fraction:

Notice that you can simplify multiply and simplify as follows (you can see below the process for simplifying each fraction that forms the complex fraction):




Then, you can rewrite the expression as follows:

3. Apply the Distributive Property in the numerator and in the denominator:


4. Add the like terms in the numerator and in the denominator:

Hence, the answer is:
