\frac{3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}+\frac{2x}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Factor x^{2}-1. Factor x^{2}+2x+1.
\frac{3\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2x\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
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 \left(x+1\right)^{2} is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}. Multiply \frac{3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}. Multiply \frac{2x}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{3\left(x+1\right)+2x\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Since \frac{3\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}} and \frac{2x\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x+3+2x^{2}-2x}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x+1\right)+2x\left(x-1\right).
\frac{x+3+2x^{2}}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Combine like terms in 3x+3+2x^{2}-2x.
\frac{x+3+2x^{2}}{x^{3}+x^{2}-x-1}
Expand \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^{2}.
