Answer

$\frac{4x + 15}{x + 6}$

Work Step by Step

Since the denominators of the two rational expressions are the same, we can just add the numerators, keeping the denominator the same: $\frac{12 + (4x + 3)}{x + 6}$ Add the numerators: $\frac{4x + 15}{x + 6}$ This is the simplest form of the expression.
