Full solution

Q. 2x153x2\frac{2}{x}-1 - \frac{5}{3x}-2
  1. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the two fractions.\newlineThe common denominator is (x1)(3x2)(x-1)(3x-2).
  2. Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator.\newline2x13x23x253x2x1x1\frac{2}{x-1} \cdot \frac{3x-2}{3x-2} - \frac{5}{3x-2} \cdot \frac{x-1}{x-1}
  3. Multiply Numerators: Multiply the numerators by the appropriate expressions.\newline(2×(3x2))/((x1)(3x2))(5×(x1))/((x1)(3x2))(2 \times (3x-2)) / ((x-1)(3x-2)) - (5 \times (x-1)) / ((x-1)(3x-2))
  4. Distribute Numerators: Distribute the numerators.\newline(6x4)/((x1)(3x2))(5x5)/((x1)(3x2))(6x - 4) / ((x-1)(3x-2)) - (5x - 5) / ((x-1)(3x-2))
  5. Combine Numerators: Combine the numerators over the common denominator. (6x4)(5x5)(x1)(3x2)\frac{(6x - 4) - (5x - 5)}{(x-1)(3x-2)}
  6. Simplify Numerator: Simplify the numerator. (6x45x+5)/((x1)(3x2))(6x - 4 - 5x + 5) / ((x-1)(3x-2))
  7. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms in the numerator. \newline(x+1)/((x1)(3x2))(x + 1) / ((x-1)(3x-2))
  8. Check for Simplification: Check for any possible simplification.\newlineNo further simplification is possible.
