\frac{31x-8}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{14\left(2x-1\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right) and x+2 is \left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{14}{x+2} times \frac{2x-1}{2x-1}.
\frac{31x-8-14\left(2x-1\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{31x-8}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{14\left(2x-1\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{31x-8-28x+14}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 31x-8-14\left(2x-1\right).
\frac{3x+6}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 31x-8-28x+14.
\frac{3\left(x+2\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{3x+6}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}.
\frac{3}{2x-1}
Cancel out x+2 in both numerator and denominator.
