\frac{6}{x+4}-\frac{2\times 3x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Divide \frac{2}{x+1} by \frac{x+4}{3x} by multiplying \frac{2}{x+1} by the reciprocal of \frac{x+4}{3x}.
\frac{6}{x+4}-\frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
\frac{6\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}-\frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right) is \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{6}{x+4} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{6\left(x+1\right)-6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{6\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{6x+6-6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 6\left(x+1\right)-6x.
\frac{6}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 6x+6-6x.
\frac{6}{x^{2}+5x+4}
Expand \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right).
\frac{6}{x+4}-\frac{2\times 3x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Divide \frac{2}{x+1} by \frac{x+4}{3x} by multiplying \frac{2}{x+1} by the reciprocal of \frac{x+4}{3x}.
\frac{6}{x+4}-\frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
\frac{6\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}-\frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right) is \left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{6}{x+4} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{6\left(x+1\right)-6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{6\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{6x+6-6x}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 6\left(x+1\right)-6x.
\frac{6}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 6x+6-6x.
