I'm going to assume that you wanted to write the problem like this:
(-1/x) + (1/(-1/x)) + 6
The first thing to do is rewrite the middle part as:
1/(-1/x) = -x
This is because fractions in the denominator are reciprocated and brought to the numerator. Next, add everything together, and you get:
x - 1/x + 6
Now, if I made an incorrect assumption about the original problem, I apologize.

Please use parenthesis in the appropriate places-you made this problem confusing.
