: I am having difficulty with this problem. Here is what I did but the answer is not correct and I do not know what I am doing wrong.
Simplify

2/x - 1 + 1 / 1 - 3/x - 1
LCD = x - 1
2/x - 1(x - 1)+ 1(x - 1) = 2 + 1(x - 1)
1(x - 1) - 3(x - 1)(x - 1)= 1(x - 1) - 3
2 + 1(x - 1) / 1(x - 1) - 3
2 + x - 1 / x - 1 - 3
= -2/3 This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
