Perform the following and simplify:

1. $${\frac{{\frac{\left(\left({\frac{{\mathtt{x}}}{\left({{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}}\right){\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{\left({\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}}\right)\right)}{\left({\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{3}}\right)}}}{\left({{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{3}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}}$$

1.     ((x/(x^2-1)) - (3/(x+1)))/(2x^2-x-3)/(x^3-1)

YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK MY ANSWER, I COULD EASILY HAVE MADE ONE OR MORE CARELESS ERRORS.

Again, you need to check my working although this one looks more promising than the first one that I did :)
