Use the common denominator, %28x-1%29%5E2

%28x+%2B+1%29%2F%28x-1%29+-+1%2F%28x-1%29%5E2=%28%28x%2B1%29%28x-1%29-1%29%2F%28x-1%29%5E2
%28x+%2B+1%29%2F%28x-1%29+-+1%2F%28x-1%29%5E2=%28x%5E2-1-1%29%2F%28x-1%29%5E2
highlight%28%28x+%2B+1%29%2F%28x-1%29+-+1%2F%28x-1%29%5E2=%28x%5E2-2%29%2F%28x-1%29%5E2%29
