(more complicated) Divide a negative fraction with a negative number?

I don't quite understand the division thing. Do I just have to imagine that each sign will be the opposite, or is that how you do it with a fraction like this?

-2 / (t + 1) = -1 – s

plus 1 on both sides:

(-2 / (t + 1)) + 1= -s

1 expand to the main user:

(-2 / (t + 1)) + ((t + 1) / (t + 1)) = -s

write on a broken line:

(-2 + t + 1) / (t + 1) = -s

summarize:

(t – 1) / (t + 1) = -s

with (-1) multiply:

(1 – t) / (t + 1) = s
