The other tutor responded to the question by interpreting what you meant in your post....
Note, however, that neither of the expressions you show in your post is a fraction:
3x+2/4x-1 -->
5/2x+3 --
If you are working problems like this, your level of math knowledge should be enough that you should know that proper use of parentheses is important.
(3x+2)/(4x-1) -->
5/(2x+3) --
