\frac{2a+1}{2a\left(2a+1\right)}-\frac{3\times 2a}{2a\left(2a+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2a and 2a+1 is 2a\left(2a+1\right). Multiply \frac{1}{2a} times \frac{2a+1}{2a+1}. Multiply \frac{3}{2a+1} times \frac{2a}{2a}.
\frac{2a+1-3\times 2a}{2a\left(2a+1\right)}
Since \frac{2a+1}{2a\left(2a+1\right)} and \frac{3\times 2a}{2a\left(2a+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2a+1-6a}{2a\left(2a+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2a+1-3\times 2a.
\frac{-4a+1}{2a\left(2a+1\right)}
Combine like terms in 2a+1-6a.
\frac{-4a+1}{4a^{2}+2a}
Expand 2a\left(2a+1\right).
