#= (2x+3)/(6x+36)#

Explanation:

Two fractions are being added.

In order to do so they have to have the same denominator. This is already the case, so the two fractions can be combined into one.

#(x+6)/(6x+36) +(x-3)/(6x+36)#

#= (x+6+x-3)/(6x+36)" "larr# simplify the numerator

#= (2x+3)/(6x+36)#
