11x1=11x1(1x)1x=1(1x)1x=x1x \displaystyle \frac1{1-x} - 1 = \frac1{1-x} - \frac{1(1-x)}{1-x} = \frac{1-(1-x)}{1-x} = \frac{x}{1-x}

11x1=11+x1x=x1x\dfrac{1}{1-x}-1=\dfrac{1-1+x}{1-x}=\dfrac{x}{1-x}

I'm surprised i managed 100 UMS on this one. The boundaries seem ridiculously low.
Woops, someone already replied!
