\frac{x-2}{x-1}+\frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Factor 2x-2.
\frac{2\left(x-2\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)}+\frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{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-2}{x-1} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{2\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+1\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(x-2\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)} and \frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x-4+x^{2}+x}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(x-2\right)+x\left(x+1\right).
\frac{3x-4+x^{2}}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x-4+x^{2}+x.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+4\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{3x-4+x^{2}}{2\left(x-1\right)}.
\frac{x+4}{2}
Cancel out x-1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x-2}{x-1}+\frac{x\left(x+1\right)}{2\left(x-1\right)}
