\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}-\frac{6\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x^{2}+2 and x+2 is \left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right). Multiply \frac{x+2}{x^{2}+2} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}. Multiply \frac{6}{x+2} times \frac{x^{2}+2}{x^{2}+2}.
\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)-6\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)} and \frac{6\left(x^{2}+2\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+2x+2x+4-6x^{2}-12}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+2\right)\left(x+2\right)-6\left(x^{2}+2\right).
