Answer

The simplified form is $\frac{2x}{\left( 3-x \right)}$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given expression $\frac{2}{\frac{3}{x}-1}$. Simplify the expression as below: $\begin{align} & \frac{2}{\frac{3}{x}-1}=\frac{2}{\left( \frac{3-x}{x} \right)} \\ & =2\div \left( \frac{3-x}{x} \right) \\ & =2\times \frac{x}{3-x} \\ & =\frac{2x}{\left( 3-x \right)} \end{align}$ Thus, the simplified form is $\frac{2x}{\left( 3-x \right)}$.
