Answer:

x

Explanation:

Let's simplify the LHS so it can be equated to the RHS.


(x)/(x^(2) -4x+4) - (x)/(x^(2) -3x+2)


(x)/((x-2)^(2) ) - (x)/((x-1)(x-2))


(x(x-1)-x(x-2))/((x-2)^(2)(x-1))


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


(x)/((x-2)^(2)(x-1))

Hence, the missing term in the numerator of the answer is x
