Answer

$\frac{{{x}^{2}}+3x+6}{x\left( x+2 \right)}$.

Work Step by Step

$\frac{3}{x}+\frac{x}{x+2}$ $\begin{align} & \frac{3}{x}+\frac{x}{x+2}=\frac{3\left( x+2 \right)+x\left( x \right)}{x\left( x+2 \right)} \\ & =\frac{{{x}^{2}}+3x+6}{x\left( x+2 \right)} \end{align}$ Thus, the simplified form of the expression $\frac{3}{x}+\frac{x}{x+2}$ is $\frac{{{x}^{2}}+3x+6}{x\left( x+2 \right)}$.
