\frac{\left(2x+3\right)x}{x\left(x-2\right)}-\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{x-4}{x^{2}-2x}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-2 and x is x\left(x-2\right). Multiply \frac{2x+3}{x-2} times \frac{x}{x}. Multiply \frac{x+2}{x} times \frac{x-2}{x-2}.
\frac{\left(2x+3\right)x-\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{x-4}{x^{2}-2x}
Since \frac{\left(2x+3\right)x}{x\left(x-2\right)} and \frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x\left(x-2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2x^{2}+3x-x^{2}+2x-2x+4}{x\left(x-2\right)}+\frac{x-4}{x^{2}-2x}
Do the multiplications in \left(2x+3\right)x-\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right).
