(a-b)/(a+b) - 2ab/(a^2-b^2)
if we multipy the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by (a-b) this will give us a common denominator.
Always need to get a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions.
So we get the following
(a-b)^2/(a^2-b^2) - 2ab/(a^2-b^2)
now expand the numerator of the first fraction and we get
(a2 -2ab + b2) /(a2 - b2) - 2ab / (a2 - b2)
combine the numerators
(a2 -4ab + b2)/(a2 - b2)
