I believe that's what you are trying to solve.
-----
since a/b = a * 1/b, your equation becomes:
-----
%28%28%28x%2B4%29%2F%284x%29%29%29%2A%281%2F%28x%2B4%29%29
-----
this is equivalent to:
-----
%28%28x%2B4%29%2A1%29%2F%28%284x%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%29
-----
(x+4) cancels out and you are left with:
-----
%281%29%2F%284x%29
