Question reads : X+1 over x+3 -(minus) x^2 over x^2 + 4x + 3
----------------
[(x+1)/(x+3)] - [x^2/(x^2+4x+3)]
= [(x+1)/(x+3)] - [x^2/((x+3)(x+1))]
lcd = (x+3)(x+1)
Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
= (x+1)^2/lcd - x^2/lcd
Combine the numerators over the lcd
= [(x+1)^2 - x^2]/lcd
= [2x+1]/[(x+1)(x+3)]
