\frac{x-1}{x+1}-\frac{7x}{2\left(x+1\right)}
Factor 2x+2.
\frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{2\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{7x}{2\left(x+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+1 and 2\left(x+1\right) is 2\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{x-1}{x+1} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{2\left(x-1\right)-7x}{2\left(x+1\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(x-1\right)}{2\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{7x}{2\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2x-2-7x}{2\left(x+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(x-1\right)-7x.
\frac{-5x-2}{2\left(x+1\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x-2-7x.
\frac{-5x-2}{2x+2}
Expand 2\left(x+1\right).
