I'm not sure where the second fraction ends, let me know if I didn't interpret you correctly.
2%2Fx-2%2F2x%2B3=1
2%2Fx-2%2F2x%2B3-3=1-3
2%2Fx-2%2F2x=-2 We need a common denominator to add and subtract fractions, so:
2%2A2%2F2x-2%2F2x=-2
4%2F2x-2%2F2x=-2
%284-2%29%2F2x=-2
2%2F2x=-2
1%2Fx=-2
x%2A1%2Fx=-2%2Ax
1=-2x
1%2F-2=-2x%2F-2
-1%2F2=x
highlight%28x=-1%2F2%29
Happy Calculating!!!
