He doesn't need the answer; he needs detailed steps

Answer 2

Thanks james

Answer 3

then myininaya will write it out

Answer 4

first of all we do not want x=0 or x=1
anyways ...
multiply both sides by x(x-1) to clear the bottoms

\[x(x-1)\frac{1}{x}+x(x-1)\frac{2}{x-1}=x(x-1)3\]

\[(x-1)+2x=3x(x-1)\]

Answer 5

we will use the distributive property on the right hand side

\[(x-1)+2x=3x^2-3x\]

combine like terms on left hand side

\[3x-1=3x^2-3x\]

put everything on one side

Answer 6

\[3x^2-3x-3x+1=0\]

Answer 7

\[3x^2-6x+1=0\]
