Given


(3x)/(x+9)+(x)/(x-4)

To find the sum of the rational expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,


(3x)/(x+9)+(x)/(x-4)

Then,


\begin{gathered} (3x)/(x+9)+(x)/(x-4)=(3x(x-4)+x(x+9))/((x+9)(x-4)) \\ =(3x^2-12x+x^2+9x)/(x^2+9x-4x-36) \\ =(4x^2-3x)/(x^2+5x-36) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is option A).
