To combine the expressions (4a-2)/(3a+12) and (a-2)/(a+4), we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for these expressions is (3a+12)(a+4).
Next, we multiply the first fraction (4a-2)/(3a+12) by (a+4)/(a+4), and the second fraction (a-2)/(a+4) by (3a+12)/(3a+12).
After multiplying, we can simplify the numerators and combine the fractions by subtracting the second fraction from the first fraction.
The simplified expression is (2a+6)/(3a+12).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
