Step-by-step explanation:
In order to add rational expressions, we need to express them with the same denominator. Therefore we examine what factors there are in the first denominator, which happens to be a difference of squares which is readily factored out as:

the second denominator consists of only one of these factors:
, then in order to express both rational expressions with the same common denominator, we multiply numerator and denominator of the second fraction by the factor: 
Then we get two expressions that can be easily added as shown below:
