Technical Documentation of Rational Model Integration

As a senior analyst, you are tasked with creating a training manual for new employees that outlines how to combine specific mathematical models. Using the rational expressions 8x22x3\frac{8}{x^2 - 2x - 3} and 3xx2+4x+3\frac{3x}{x^2 + 4x + 3} as your primary example, write a short technical description of the complete step-by-step procedure required to add them. Your response must recall and describe how to factor the denominators to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), the method for adjusting the numerators, and the specific logical check used to confirm that the final resulting numerator, 3x2x+243x^2 - x + 24, cannot be simplified any further.
