I think it best to actually do the problem to determine the correct answer.

Clearing out the fractions, I found that

x(x-2) - (x -1) = 2x -5.  This results in x=2 and x=3.

However, 2 is not a solution (but is an extraneous solution), because substituting 2 for x in the 2nd term results in div. by zero.

Thus, only the second answer is correct.
