First of all factorise all the expressions. I presume that you know to factorise.
%28x%5E2%2B2x-3%29%2F%28x%2B2%29 X %28x%5E2%2B2x%29%2F%28x%5E2-1%29

%28%28x%2B3%29%28x-1%29%29%2F%28x%2B2%29 X %28x%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%28x-1%29%29 After cross cancellation, we get

%28x%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%28x%2B1%29. Answer.
