Explanation / Answer

at first take the lcm on both numerator and denominator lcm will be x*(x+4) eqation will be
((3*(x+4)+1*x)/(x*(x+4)))/((x+4+3*(x))/(x(x+4))) as x*(x+4) is comman it will be canceled final eqaution is (4X+12)/(4X+4) from will 4 can be cancelled to give (X+3)/(x+1) this would help
