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