1%2F4+=+3-%282x-1%29%2F%28x%2B2%29……..multiply both sides by +4%28x%2B2%29+…
%281%2F4%29+4%28x%2B2%29++=+3%2A4%28x%2B2%29+-%282x-1%29%2F%28x%2B2%29+%2A4%28x%2B2%29+……..
x%2B2++=+12%28x%2B2%29+-%282x-1%29+4+……..
x+%2B+2++=+12x%2B24+-+8x+-+4+……..
4%2B+2+-24++=+12x+-+8x+-+x+……..
-+18++=+3x+……..
-+6+=+x+……..
Or x+=+-+6+……..
