3 2

----- - ------
2a -2 1 - a

5 3
----- - ------
2x - 4 2 - x

need a little understanding on these anyone?

I don't understand the second term. Is it this?

3 2
----- - ------ =
2a -2 1 - a

3 2
----- - ------ =
2(a -1) 1 - a

3 2
----- - ------ =
2(a -1) -( a-1)

3 2 3/2 +2
----- + ------ = -----------------
2(a -1) (a-1) (a-1)

4.5/(a-1)

Same principles on the second, get a common denominator.

oops, type, that is a 3.5 in the numerator.
