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