\frac{x}{x-1}-\frac{2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-2.
\frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{2x+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 x-1 and \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right) is \left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{x}{x-1} times \frac{x+2}{x+2}.
\frac{x\left(x+2\right)-\left(2x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+2x-2x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in x\left(x+2\right)-\left(2x+1\right).
\frac{x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+2x-2x-1.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}.
\frac{x+1}{x+2}
Cancel out x-1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x}{x-1}-\frac{2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-2.

\frac{x^{2}+2x-2x-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in x\left(x+2\right)-\left(2x+1\right).
\frac{x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+2x-2x-1.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x^{2}-1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)}.
\frac{x+1}{x+2}
Cancel out x-1 in both numerator and denominator.
