1. Move 2/x to the left side of proportion by changing sign before it:
3/x - 1 - 2/x = 4

2. Move 1 to the right side of proportion and change it's sign as well:
3/x - 2/x = 4 + 1

3. Sum numerators in the left side of proportion since they have common denominator (x) abd also sum the numbers in the right side too:
(3-2)/x = 5

4. Calculate numerator in the left side of proportion:
1/x = 5

5. Move 1 to the right side of proportion by dividing that side by it:
x = 1/5
