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