\frac{15}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x-1}{x+2}
Factor x^{2}-1.
\frac{15\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right) and x+2 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{15}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}. Multiply \frac{x-1}{x+2} times \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{15\left(x+2\right)-\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{15\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{15x+30-x^{3}+x+x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 15\left(x+2\right)-\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right).
\frac{16x+29-x^{3}+x^{2}}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 15x+30-x^{3}+x+x^{2}-1.
\frac{16x+29-x^{3}+x^{2}}{x^{3}+2x^{2}-x-2}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right).
\frac{15}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x-1}{x+2}
Factor x^{2}-1.
\frac{15\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right) and x+2 is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{15}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}. Multiply \frac{x-1}{x+2} times \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{15\left(x+2\right)-\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{15\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{15x+30-x^{3}+x+x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}

\frac{16x+29-x^{3}+x^{2}}{x^{3}+2x^{2}-x-2}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right).
