If all you want is just how this is written, then the answer is


(4)/(x) - 1

That's the way it reads. However you may have meant


(x)/(4) - 1

We cannot exactly tell from the wording what is meant. I would choose the first one, if this multiple choice. I would note the ambiguity if a person is doing the marking.
