2/(y+4) + 3(y-2)

So the question asks us to add together; 2 divided by y plus 4, to 3 divided by y minus 2.As there are no common denominators (bottom half of the fraction)We will therefore have to multiple the two denominators togetherThis gives us (y+4)(y-2)We have to also multiply the numerators so that thy are also factors of (y+4)(y-2)Multiply out all the brackets in the numerator.
