Answer

$\dfrac{1}{x-2}$

Work Step by Step

Adding the numerators and copying the common denominator, the given expression, $ \dfrac{2x+1}{x^2+x-6}+\dfrac{2-x}{x^2+x-6} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2x+1+2-x}{x^2+x-6} \\\\= \dfrac{x+3}{x^2+x-6} \\\\= \dfrac{x+3}{(x+3)(x-2)} \\\\= \dfrac{\cancel{x+3}}{(\cancel{x+3})(x-2)} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{x-2} .\end{array}
