Answer 5

\[\large \frac{(x+5)^2}{x^2+2x-15}+\frac{2}{4x-12}=
\frac{(x+5)\color{red}{(x+5)}}{\color{red}{(x+5)}(x-3)}+
\frac{2}{\color{red}{4}(x-3)}= \]
\[\large =\frac{x+5}{\color{red}{x-3}}+\frac{2}{4\color{red}{(x-3)}}=
\frac{4(x+5)+2}{4(x-3)}=\frac{4x+22}{4(x-3)} \]
\[\large =\frac{2x+11}{2(x-3)} \]
