Hi

If 2 times the reciprocal of a number is subtracted from 3 times the number, the difference is 1.

  ****       |Multiplying thru by x so as all denominators = 1

    3x^2 - 2 = x

   3x^2 - x - 2 = 0

  (3x+2)(x-1) = 0

  (3x+2)=0   , x = -2/3

  (x-1)= 0  ,  x = 1

CHECKING our answer***

  3 -2 = 1
