Sorry for misunderstanding your question last time:
So we have:
expr%289%2F%28%28%28x%2B1%29%2F%28x-1%29%29+-1%29%29
Get a common denominator of x-1:
expr%289%2F%28%28%28x%2B1%29%2F%28x-1%29%29+-%28x-1%29%2F%28x-1%29%29%29
Simplify the numerator(that is in the denominator)
expr%289%2F%282%2F%28x-1%29%29%29
Use the definition of division:
expr%289+%2A+%28%28x-1%29%2F2%29%29
Simplify
expr%28%289+%2A%28x-1%29%29%2F2%29 <--- Answer
