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