denominators: x - 1, x - x^2
x - x^2 = x(x-1)
common denominator = LCM((x-1), (x-x^2)) = x-x^2

The other tutor answered the question that you probably intended to ask....
However, the expression you show, "6/x-1= 3/x-x^2", is equal to this:
The least common denominator in that problem is clearly just x.
If you are actually working this problem, you should know enough about algebra to know that parentheses should be used wherever needed.
