(1/x)-(1/x+1)
_____________
1/x+1
--------------
Rewrite as:
[x+1-x]/[x(x+1)]/[1/(x+1)]
Invert the denominator and multiply to get:
[1/x(x+1)]
Cancel the (x+1) factor to get:
1/x

If I misinterpretted your problem, let me know and I'll edit it.
The LCD for the top and the bottom is x*(x+1). Multiply the top and bottom by x(x+1)/1. The /1 helps keep things lined up. it's not essential.
Happy Calculating!!!
