Bài 1:
a: \(P=\left(\dfrac{x-2}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\dfrac{x+2}{\left(x+1\right)^2}\right)\cdot\dfrac{\left(x-1\right)^2\cdot\left(x+1\right)^2}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2-x-2-x^2-x+2}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)^2}\cdot\dfrac{\left(x-1\right)^2\cdot\left(x+1\right)^2}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{-2x}{1}\cdot\dfrac{x-1}{4}=-\dfrac{x\left(x-1\right)}{2}\)
b: Để \(\dfrac{P-4}{5}=x\) thì P-4=5x
=>P=5x+4
\(\Leftrightarrow-\dfrac{x\left(x-1\right)}{2}=5x+4\)
=>-x2+x=10x+8
=>x2-x=-10x-8
=>x2+9x+8=0
=>x=-8(nhận) hoặc x=-1(loại)
