Procedural Documentation for Efficiency Formula Simplification

As a senior analyst at a logistics firm, you are tasked with creating a procedural guide for new hires. The guide must explain how to simplify a core efficiency formula used in your optimization software:

2uu1+1u2u1u2u\frac{2u}{u-1} + \frac{1}{u} - \frac{2u-1}{u^2-u}

In your response, outline the specific sequence of mathematical steps required to simplify this expression into its most reduced form. Your explanation must specifically identify the factored form of the third denominator, the Least Common Denominator (LCD) used, and the final mathematical operation needed to reach the simplified result.
