I must be an idiot for seemingly breaking Calculus...

The original question is asking me to integrate the following formula: (4/(x+3)). Simple enough, but I am getting a different result when I bring the 4 down to the denominator before integrating. This form with the 4 in the denominator is (1/(0.25x+0.75)). I was taught that the general rule is the integral of (1/(ax+b))= (1/a)ln|ax+b|dx. What am I doing wrong because even the integrating calculator on this website is giving different results for what I think are the exact same formula:
