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