    There's nothing to solve. What's the question?

    Is it the following fraction?

    <br /> \frac{{\frac{{x - \left( {x + h} \right)}}{{2\left( {x + h} \right)x}}}}{h}<br />

    Then you can simplify:

    <br /> \frac{{\frac{{x - \left( {x + h} \right)}}{{2\left( {x + h} \right)x}}}}{h} = \frac{{ - h}}{{2\left( {x + h} \right)x}}\frac{1}{h} = \frac{{ - 1}}{{2\left( {x + h} \right)x}}<br />
