b+%2F+%28b+-+1%29 + 2b+%2F+%28b%5E2+-+1%29

=b+%2F+%28b+-+1%29 + 2b+%2F+%28b-1%29%28b%2B1%29%29

=%28b%29%28b%2B1%29+%2F+%28b+-+1%29%28b%2B1%29 + 2b+%2F+%28b-1%29%28b%2B1%29%29

=%28b%5E2%2Bb%29+%2F+%28b+-+1%29%28b%2B1%29 + 2b+%2F+%28b-1%29%28b%2B1%29%29

=%28b%5E2%2B3b%29+%2F+%28b+-+1%29%28b%2B1%29

=%28b%29%28b%2B3%29+%2F+%28b+-+1%29%28b%2B1%29

=%28b%29%28b%2B3%29+%2F+%28b%5E2-1%29
