6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2

Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:

6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2

Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:

6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)

Simplify terms:

6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)

Use distributive property:

6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)

Combine like terms for final answer:

(x-14) / 2(x+3)
