Answer

$\dfrac{7x^2-9x-13}{(2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2)}$

Work Step by Step

The factored form of the given expression, $ \dfrac{2x-1}{2x^2-9x-5}+\dfrac{x+3}{6x^2-x-2} ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2x-1}{(2x+1)(x-5)}+\dfrac{x+3}{(2x+1)(3x-2)} .\end{array} Using the $LCD= (2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2) ,$ the solution/s of the given equation is/are \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(2x-1)(3x-2)+(x-5)(x+3)}{(2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2)} \\\\ \dfrac{(6x^2-4x-3x+2)+(x^2+3x-5x-15)}{(2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2)} \\\\ \dfrac{(6x^2-7x+2)+(x^2-2x-15)}{(2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2)} \\\\ \dfrac{7x^2-9x-13}{(2x+1)(x-5)(3x-2)} .\end{array}
