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