(1x211x)(1x1x21+x+1+x1+x1x)=1

Explanation:

Observe that 1x21+x=1x2(1x)

= 1x(1+x1x), and hence

(1x211x)(1x1x21+x+1+x1+x1x)

= (1x2x21x)1x+1x21x(1+x1x)

= 1x(1x21)1x(1x+1+x)1x(1+x1x)

= 1x(1x21)(1x+1+x)(1+x1x)

= 1x(1x21)(1x+1+x)2(1+x1x)(1x+1+x)

= 1x(1x21)1x+1+x+21x21+x1+x

= 1x(1x21)2+21x22x

= 1x(1x21)1+1x2x

= 1x2(1x21)

= x2x2

= 1
