Question

What is the simplified form of 2/x^2-x - 1/x?

Answer 1

Answer:  $\bold{(C)\ \dfrac{3 - x}{x(x-1)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

   $\dfrac{2}{x^2-x}-\dfrac{1}{x}$

$=\dfrac{2}{x(x-1)}+\dfrac{-1}{x}$

$=\dfrac{2}{x(x-1)}+\dfrac{-1}{x}\bigg(\dfrac{x-1}{x-1}\bigg)$

$=\dfrac{2}{x(x-1)}+\dfrac{-x+1}{x(x-1)}$

$=\dfrac{2-x+1}{x(x-1)}$

$=\dfrac{3-x}{x(x-1)}$
