4%282%2Fx-5x%5E4%2Fx%5E5%2B3%29

4%282%2Fx-5%2Fx%2B3%29 [simplify the middle term]

4%282%2Fx-5%2Fx%2B3x%2Fx%29 [get a common denominator]

4%281%2Fx%29%282-5%2B3x%29 [factor out the common denominator factor]

%284%2Fx%29%283x-3%29 [simplify]

%284%2Fx%29%283%28x-1%29%29 [factor out another common factor]

%2812%2Fx%29%28x-1%29 [simplify]

I don't know if that was what you were looking for, since you didn't make it clear....
