<h3>Factoring</h3>

In math, factoring or factorization is used to write an algebraic expression in factors. There are some rules for factorization. One of them is a factor out a common term for example: x²-x= x(x-1), where x is a common term.

You should factor the given expression.

$2-\frac{x+3}{x+1}-\frac{x-5}{x-1}\\ \\ 2+\frac{-\left(x+3\right)\left(x-1\right)-\left(x-5\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}\\ \\ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \:a+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}\\ \\ \frac{2\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)-\left(x+3\right)\left(x-1\right)-\left(x-5\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}\\ \\ \frac{2x+6}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)}=\frac{2x+6}{x^2-1}$
