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