You can put this solution on YOUR website!
placement of parentheses can make a huge difference, for example you wrote this:
1-(4/x+2)÷1-(1/x-1)
which converts to
1-%284%2Fx%2B2%29%2F1-%281%2Fx-1%29
but I think you meant to write:
(1-4/(x+2))/(1-1/(x-1))
which converts to
%281-4%2F%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%281-1%2F%28x-1%29%29}
simplifying...
