\frac{A-1}{2A}\left(\frac{A+3}{A+1}-\frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}\right)
Factor A^{2}-1.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\left(\frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}-\frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}\right)
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of A+1 and \left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right) is \left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right). Multiply \frac{A+3}{A+1} times \frac{A-1}{A-1}.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)-\left(A^{2}-5\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Since \frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)} and \frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{A^{2}-A+3A-3-A^{2}+5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)-\left(A^{2}-5\right).
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2A+2}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Combine like terms in A^{2}-A+3A-3-A^{2}+5.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2\left(A+1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{2A+2}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2}{A-1}
Cancel out A+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{\left(A-1\right)\times 2}{2A\left(A-1\right)}
Multiply \frac{A-1}{2A} times \frac{2}{A-1} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{1}{A}
Cancel out 2\left(A-1\right) in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\left(\frac{A+3}{A+1}-\frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}\right)
Factor A^{2}-1.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\left(\frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}-\frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}\right)
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of A+1 and \left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right) is \left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right). Multiply \frac{A+3}{A+1} times \frac{A-1}{A-1}.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)-\left(A^{2}-5\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Since \frac{\left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)} and \frac{A^{2}-5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{A^{2}-A+3A-3-A^{2}+5}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(A+3\right)\left(A-1\right)-\left(A^{2}-5\right).
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2A+2}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Combine like terms in A^{2}-A+3A-3-A^{2}+5.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2\left(A+1\right)}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{2A+2}{\left(A-1\right)\left(A+1\right)}.
\frac{A-1}{2A}\times \frac{2}{A-1}
Cancel out A+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{\left(A-1\right)\times 2}{2A\left(A-1\right)}
Multiply \frac{A-1}{2A} times \frac{2}{A-1} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{1}{A}
Cancel out 2\left(A-1\right) in both numerator and denominator.
