How do you multiply (5x+2)/(3x)-(4x-3)/(3x)=( x-1 )/(3x)?

I am not sure if you want to solve it for x but I try this:
Take a common denominator on both sides:
(5x+2-4x+3)/(3x)=(x-1)/(3x)
(I changed sign in the second numerator on the left);
Now take the 3x from the denominator (on the left) up to multiply on the right as:
5x+2-4x+3=(x-1)color(red)(3x)/(3x) and simplify:
5x+2-4x+3=(x-1)cancel(color(red)(3x))/cancel((3x))
You are left with:
x+5=x-1
and;
0=-6 which in not true for any x
So your equation has NO SOLUTIONS
