\frac{x-2}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}-1
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x-2}{x^{2}-4}.
\frac{1}{x+2}-1
Cancel out x-2 in both numerator and denominator.
\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{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{1-x-2}{x+2}
Do the multiplications in 1-\left(x+2\right).
\frac{-1-x}{x+2}
Combine like terms in 1-x-2.
