\frac{3x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{4\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 x+1 and x+2 is \left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{3x}{x+1} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}. Multiply \frac{4}{x+2} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{3x\left(x+2\right)-4\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{3x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{4\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
