That complex fraction as pure text:

(2/(x-1))/(1/x-3/(x-1))

Placing inside the triple braces rendering tags for the system,
%282%2F%28x-1%29%29%2F%281%2Fx-3%2F%28x-1%29%29

The lowest common denominator is x%28x-1%29.
Begin by multiplying the entire complex fraction by %28x%28x-1%29%29%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29, and continue simplification from that.

Finished result is -%282%2F%282x%5E2-x%29%29
