\frac{2\left(z+2\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}-\frac{\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of z+1 and z+2 is \left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right). Multiply \frac{2}{z+1} times \frac{z+2}{z+2}. Multiply \frac{z-1}{z+2} times \frac{z+1}{z+1}.
\frac{2\left(z+2\right)-\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(z+2\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)} and \frac{\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2z+4-z^{2}-z+z+1}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(z+2\right)-\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right).
\frac{2z+5-z^{2}}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 2z+4-z^{2}-z+z+1.
\frac{2z+5-z^{2}}{z^{2}+3z+2}
Expand \left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right).
\frac{2\left(z+2\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}-\frac{\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of z+1 and z+2 is \left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right). Multiply \frac{2}{z+1} times \frac{z+2}{z+2}. Multiply \frac{z-1}{z+2} times \frac{z+1}{z+1}.
\frac{2\left(z+2\right)-\left(z-1\right)\left(z+1\right)}{\left(z+1\right)\left(z+2\right)}
