\frac{x+1-x-\left(-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}
To find the opposite of x-1, find the opposite of each term.
\frac{x+1-x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}
The opposite of -1 is 1.
\frac{1+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Combine x and -x to get 0.
\frac{2}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
\frac{2}{x^{2}-1^{2}}
Consider \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}.
\frac{2}{x^{2}-1}
Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.
