hi, i'm totally lost. i understand that you need to find a lowest common denominator to subtract two fractions (rational expressions) with different denominators. but what if the denominators are "x-1" and "x". is x the common denominator? if so what happens to the "-1"? do you know of any live online help i can get with the following:

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

i've looked through my notes and have no examples that quite match that i can follow to get through it. please help!
