The parenthesis has to be put at the right places for correct answer
%281%2Fx+%2B+2%2F%28x+-+1%29%29%2F%28+4%2F%28x+-+1%29%29
Numerator = %28%28x-1%29%2B2x%29%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29
=%283x-1%29%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29
Denominator = 4%2F%28x-1%29
%28%283x-1%29%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29%29 *%28x-1%29%2F4
%283x-1%29%2F4x
