Answer

$2x^{n+1}+4x$

Work Step by Step

Factor the numerators and the denominators, when needed to have: $\\=\dfrac{(x^n+2)(x^n+2)}{4x-3} \cdot \dfrac{2x(4x-3)}{x^n+2}$ Cancel the common factors to have: $\\\require{cancel}=\dfrac{\cancel{(x^n+2)}(x^n+2)}{\cancel{4x-3}} \cdot \dfrac{2x\cancel{(4x-3)}}{\cancel{x^n+2}} \\=(x^n+2)(2x) \\=2x^{n+1}+4x$
