\frac{x-4}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}+\frac{1}{x-1}
Factor 2x^{2}-x-1.
\frac{x-4}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}+\frac{2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right) and x-1 is \left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x-1} times \frac{2x+1}{2x+1}.
\frac{x-4+2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}
Since \frac{x-4}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)} and \frac{2x+1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3x-3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}
Combine like terms in x-4+2x+1.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{3x-3}{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)}.
\frac{3}{2x+1}
Cancel out x-1 in both numerator and denominator.
