x%5E2%2F%28%283x%29%5E2-5x-2%29-2x%2F%283x%2B1%29%2A1%2F%28x-2%29
It is very hard to follow this question and even if I took what you have inputed precisely as it is, I do not think it would help you. If you send me an email with the question, then I will answer it for you. I think the best way to do this might be in a MS Paint file. Just draw the equation (doesn't have to be too neat, just readable). send file to justin.sheppard.tech@hotmail.com

I hope this helps!

I believe the question is supposed to be x%5E2%2F%283x%5E2-5x-2%29-2x%2F%283x%2B1%29%2A1%2F%28x-2%29
If this is the case, then 3x%5E2-5x-2%29 can be factored into (3x+1)(x-2)
Therefore, you can subtract because you have common denominators and you get %28x%5E2-2x%29%2F%28%283x%2B1%29%28x-2%29%29
You can factor out an x in the numerator and get %28x%28x-2%29%29%2F%28%283x%2B1%29%28x-2%29%29
Now you can reduce the x-2 in the numerator and denominator and you end up with x%2F%283x%2B1%29
