Start by simplifying each fraction and don't use X for multiplication in algebra if you want to remain sane.

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{x - 2}{x + 5} + \dfrac{x^2 - 2x - 3}{x^2 - x - 6} * \dfrac{x^2 + 2x}{x^2 - 4x} =\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{x - 2}{x + 5} + \dfrac{(x - 3)(x + 1)}{(x - 3)(x + 2)} * \dfrac{x(x + 2)}{x(x - 4)} =\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{x - 2}{x + 5} + \dfrac{x + 1}{x - 4} = what?\)
