Whether you are helping someone else or yourself, you still need to describe what it is that is giving you trouble or at the very least ask a specific question. Otherwise, we have to assume what you want which means that we may do work that is unnecessary or fail to do that which is necessary.

I presume you want to solve for



First remove the parentheses. Assume a -1 for each minus sign, then -1 times -1 is 1, so the equation simplifies to:



Then add to both sides of the equation. I assume you know how to add and subtract fractions by obtaining and applying a lowest common denominator.
