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