Integral problem. Unsure of the approach.

I have this integral:



$$int_0^1 frac{1 + 12t}{1 + 3t}dt$$



I can split this up into:



$$int_0^1 frac{1}{1+3t} dt + int_0^1frac{12t}{1+3t}dt$$



The left side:



$u = 1+3t$ and $du = 3dt$ and $frac{du}{3} = dt$



so $$frac{1}{3} int_0^1 frac{1}{u} du = frac{1}{3} ln |u| + C$$



But what about the right?

          Hint:



          $$frac{12t}{1+3t} = 4 - frac{4}{1+3t}.$$ Now use the same approach as you did for the first part.
          In fact you should’ve simplified the fraction before splitting into parts.



          Remember to evaluate the integral at t=0 and t=1! ;)

            At least on an initial glance, I'd make the substitution



            $$u = 1+3t implies du = 3dt implies dt = frac{du}{3}$$



            Note that $t = (u-1)/3$ and thus $12t = 4(u-1)$.



            Then the integral becomes



            $$int_0^1 frac{12t}{1 + 3t} dt = int_ast^ast frac{4(u-1)}{u} frac{dt}{3} = frac 4 3 int_ast^ast frac{u-1}{u}du = frac 4 3 int_ast^ast 1 - frac{1}{u}du$$



            But this seems a bit excessive and unnecessary, even if it's the first thing to come to mind. (That's why I left the bounds as $ast$'s: in cases like these, overcomplication suggests an alternative approach.)




            Another trick is to "add and subtract the same thing from the top"; this can be handy in a lot of math classes for manipulations if you add and subtract the right thing. In this case, we notice:



            $$12t = 12t + 4 - 4 = 4(3t+1) - 4$$



            Thus,



            $$int_0^1 frac{12t}{1 + 3t} dt = int_0^1 frac{4(3t+1) - 4}{1 + 3t} dt = int_0^1 4 - frac{4}{1 + 3t} dt$$
