\[\Large \frac 1x - \frac{4}{3x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\] is this the question?
nope
\[\Large \frac 1x - \frac{4}{3x} = \frac 1x - 2\]

lol you confuse me
so it's the first one?
well the last part is (1/x-2)
the x-2 is the denominator

first
start by converting the left side to common denominators \[\frac 1x = \frac{3}{3x}\] therefore i will turn the equation inot \[\frac{3}{3x} - \frac{4}{3x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\] \[\frac{3-4}{3x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\] \[\frac{-1}{3x} = \frac{1}{x-2}\] cross multiply \[-(x-2) = 3x\] \[-x + 2 = 3x\] add x to both sides \[2 = 3x +x\] \[2 = 4x\] can you solve for x now?
yes
great
