Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{3x}{x-1}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{8}{x-1}[/tex]

These fractions have a common denominator and so do not require to be altered.

The numerators can be added to simplify, that is

= [tex]\frac{3x+8}{x-1}[/tex]

The remaining fractions have different denominators and would require to be altered before they could be added.
