\frac{-\left(a+1\right)}{2a+b}+\frac{b-1}{2a+b}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of -2a-b and b+2a is 2a+b. Multiply \frac{a+1}{-2a-b} times \frac{-1}{-1}.
\frac{-\left(a+1\right)+b-1}{2a+b}
Since \frac{-\left(a+1\right)}{2a+b} and \frac{b-1}{2a+b} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{-a-1+b-1}{2a+b}
Do the multiplications in -\left(a+1\right)+b-1.
\frac{-a-2+b}{2a+b}
Combine like terms in -a-1+b-1.
