Option a: [tex]\frac{2}{x-2}[/tex] is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

[tex]\frac{5}{x-2} - \frac{3}{x-2}[/tex]

As the denominators of both terms are same, the LCM will be x-2

so

[tex]\frac{5-3}{x-2}[/tex]

Subtracting

[tex]\frac{2}{x-2}[/tex]

Hence,

Option a: [tex]\frac{2}{x-2}[/tex] is the right answer
