%28%28x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+3%29%2F%28x+%2B+2%29%29+%28%28x%5E2+%2B+2x%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+1%29%29
%28%28%28x%2B3%29%28x-1%29%29%2F%28x%2B2%29%29+%28x%28x%2B2%29%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%28x-1%29%29%29
The (x+2) brackets cancel top and bottom. So also do the (x-1) brackets. This leaves,
%28x%28x%2B3%29%29+%2F%28x%2B1%29%29
