First, we have
(1 + 2/x²) (2x - 3/x)⁵ = (2x - 3/x)⁵ + 2/x² (2x - 3/x)⁵
In the expansion of (2x - 3/x)⁵, there is no x² term. Each term takes the form
where c is a binomial coefficient, and i is taken from the range {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Looking at just the power of x in the product, we have
and 5 - 2i = 1 only if i = 2. By the binomial theorem, this term is given by
In the other expansion, we have an additional factor of 1/x², so that any given them in the expansion contains a power of x of the form
and 3 - 2i = 1 only if x = 1. This term in the expansion is
Then the coefficient of the x term in the whole expansion is 720 - 480 = 240.
