Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
factor the denominators of both fractions
x² - 16 ← is a difference of squares
= (x - 4)(x + 4)
8x + 2x² ← factor out 2x from each term
= 2x(4 + x) = 2x(x + 4)
then expression is
[tex]\frac{x^2}{(x-4)(x+4)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{9x}{2x(x+4)}[/tex]
with LCD of 2x(x + 4)(x - 4)
