i need to simplify this problem: x+1/x+1/x-1
-----
= x+1/x+(1-x)/x
---
= (x^2+1)/x + (1-x)/x
---
= (x^2 + 1 + 1-x)/x
---
= (x^2 -x + 2)/x
---
= [(x-2)(x+1)]/x
=======================
I doubt this is the answer you are looking for
but your post has no parentheses so it allows for
many interpretations.
