The formula for adding these expressions is:

\n

\\[\\simplify[std]{a + (c / d) = (ad + c) / d}\\]

and for this exercise we have $\\simplify{a={a}x+{b1}}$, $\\simplify{c={c}x+{b2}}$, $\\simplify{d={a2}x+{d}}$.

Hence we have:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} \\simplify[std]{{a}x+{b1} } +\\simplify[std]{ ({c}x+{b2}) / ({a2}x + {d})}  &=& \\simplify{(({a}x+{b1}) * ({a2}*x + {d}) + ({c}x+{b2}) ) / ( ({a2}*x + {d}))}\\\\ &=&\\simplify[std]{ (({a*a2} * x^2 + {b1*a2+ a*d}x+{b1*d})+{c}x+{b2}) / ( ({a2}*x + {d}))}\\\\&=&\\simplify[std]{ ({a*a2} * x^2 + {a * d +b1*a2+ c }x+{b1*d+b2}) / (({a2}*x + {d}))}\\end{eqnarray*}\\]
