Combine "like" terms. Those would be the two "x" terms only in this case.
x^2+ 8x+ 15/x^2 +x +3
= x^2 +9x +15/x^2 +3
x^2+8x+15/x^2+x+3

If, however, we're missing parentheses as surmised by Reiny, then we have
(x+5)(x+3)/(x^2 + x + 3)
not much progress there.
What exactly is the objective here? Long division of polynomials?
(x+5)(x+3)/(x^2 + x + 3)
