1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{X+\frac{2x}{x-2}}{1+\frac{4}{x^2}-4}$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:** The numerator is $$X + \frac{2x}{x-2}$$ and the denominator is $$1 + \frac{4}{x^2} - 4$$.
3. **Simplify the denominator:** Combine like terms:
$$1 - 4 + \frac{4}{x^2} = -3 + \frac{4}{x^2}$$
4. **Rewrite the denominator with a common denominator:**
$$-3 + \frac{4}{x^2} = \frac{-3x^2}{x^2} + \frac{4}{x^2} = \frac{-3x^2 + 4}{x^2}$$
5. **Rewrite the entire expression:**
$$\frac{X + \frac{2x}{x-2}}{\frac{-3x^2 + 4}{x^2}} = \left(X + \frac{2x}{x-2}\right) \times \frac{x^2}{-3x^2 + 4}$$
6. **Simplify the numerator:** Find common denominator for $$X$$ and $$\frac{2x}{x-2}$$:
$$X = \frac{X(x-2)}{x-2}$$
So,
$$X + \frac{2x}{x-2} = \frac{X(x-2) + 2x}{x-2} = \frac{Xx - 2X + 2x}{x-2}$$
7. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{Xx - 2X + 2x}{x-2} \times \frac{x^2}{-3x^2 + 4} = \frac{(Xx - 2X + 2x) x^2}{(x-2)(-3x^2 + 4)}$$
8. **Factor denominator term:** Note that $$-3x^2 + 4 = -(3x^2 - 4)$$ and $$3x^2 - 4$$ does not factor nicely over integers.
9. **Final simplified form:**
$$\frac{(Xx - 2X + 2x) x^2}{(x-2)(-3x^2 + 4)}$$
This is the simplified expression.
**Answer:** $$\boxed{\frac{(Xx - 2X + 2x) x^2}{(x-2)(-3x^2 + 4)}}$$
