Explanation:
For two or more fractions to be combined, they must have the same denominator.
To make this the case, find the LCM of the denominators.
(in this case, multiply them)
Then multiply the numerators:
Now add the two fractions together:
#(6v^2-3v)/(2v^2+5v-3)+ (5v+15)/(2v^2+5v-3)#
#= (6v^2+2v+15)/(2v^2+5v-3)#
