Answer:


-(3)/(x-1)

Explanation:

Factor the denominator and then combine fractions:


(3)/((x-1)(x-2)) -(3)/(x-2)

Find LCM (Least Common Multiple) of denominators:

LCM of (x-1)(x-2) and x-2 is (x-1)(x-2)

Adjust fractions based on LCM:


(3)/((x-1)(x-2)) -(3(x-1))/((x-2)(x-1))

Denominators are now equal so you can subtract the fractions:


(3-3(x-1))/((x-1)(x-2))

Factor the numerator:


(3(-x+2))/((x-1)(x-2))

Cancel:


-(3)/(x-1)
