Find Common Denominator: To add the two fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominators for (x+7) and (x-1) would be the product of the two, which is (x+7)(x-1).Rewrite with Common Denominator: We rewrite each fraction with the common denominator: (4)/(x+7) * ((x-1)/(x-1)) + (8)/(x-1) * ((x+7)/(x+7))Distribute Numerators: Now we distribute the numerators: (4 * (x-1)) / ((x+7)(x-1)) + (8 * (x+7)) / ((x+7)(x-1))Expand Numerators: We expand the numerators: (4x - 4) / ((x+7)(x-1)) + (8x + 56) / ((x+7)(x-1))Combine Numerators: Now we combine the numerators over the common denominator: (4x - 4 + 8x + 56) / ((x+7)(x-1))Simplify Numerator: We simplify the numerator by combining like terms: (12x + 52) / ((x+7)(x-1))Final Answer: The numerator is already simplified, and the denominator is already factored. So, we have our final answer: (12x + 52) / ((x+7)(x-1))
