\frac{x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{2x+1}{x^{3}-1}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+1 and x-1 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x+1} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{1}{x-1} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
