Use a common denominator, x%28x-2%29
+1%2F%28x-2%29+-+2%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29+=1
.
.
+x%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29+-+2%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29+=%28x%28x-2%29%29%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29+
.
.
+%28x+-+2-%28x%28x-2%29%29%29%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29=0
.
.
%28x-2-x%5E2%2B2%29%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29=0
.
.
%28x%5E2-x%29%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29
.
.
%28x%28x-1%29%29%2F%28x%28x-2%29%29
.
.
%28x-1%29%2F%28x-2%29=0
.
.
x-1=0
.
.
highlight%28x=1%29
