\frac{x+4}{2\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{x+6}{3\left(x+2\right)}
Factor 2x+4. Factor 3x+6.
\frac{3\left(x+4\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2\left(x+2\right) and 3\left(x+2\right) is 6\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{x+4}{2\left(x+2\right)} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{x+6}{3\left(x+2\right)} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{3\left(x+4\right)-2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x+4\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{3x+12-2x-12}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x+4\right)-2\left(x+6\right).
\frac{x}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x+12-2x-12.
\frac{x}{6x+12}
Expand 6\left(x+2\right).
\frac{x+4}{2\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{x+6}{3\left(x+2\right)}
Factor 2x+4. Factor 3x+6.
\frac{3\left(x+4\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}-\frac{2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2\left(x+2\right) and 3\left(x+2\right) is 6\left(x+2\right). Multiply \frac{x+4}{2\left(x+2\right)} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{x+6}{3\left(x+2\right)} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{3\left(x+4\right)-2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Since \frac{3\left(x+4\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)} and \frac{2\left(x+6\right)}{6\left(x+2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{3x+12-2x-12}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x+4\right)-2\left(x+6\right).
\frac{x}{6\left(x+2\right)}
Combine like terms in 3x+12-2x-12.
\frac{x}{6x+12}
Expand 6\left(x+2\right).
