The first step is to rationalize the first denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator of the first fraction by sqrt%28x%29:

1%2Fsqrt%28x%29+%2B+2%2Fx+
%281%2Fsqrt%28x%29%29+%2A+%28%28sqrt%28x%29%29%2F%28sqrt%28x%29%29%29+%2B+2%2Fx+
%28sqrt%28x%29%29%2Fx+%2B+2%2Fx

Notice the common denominator!!
%28sqrt%28x%29+%2B+2%29%2Fx
