Without enclosing parenthesis, it is difficult to tell exactly what the quantities you want multiplied are. The next to last term, x^2/x^2 can evaluate to 1 resulting in 1-1 on the RH side of X.
Does that mean multiply by 0?

First distribute 7(2 - x) which then will become 14 - 7x. Then upload 14 - 7x to 3x which will become 14 - 4x. Then distribute -4 to fourteen - 4x which will become -fifty six + 16x. Then resolve x - fifty six + 16x which will become 17x - fifty six. Then distribute 2 to 17x - fifty six which will become 34x - 112. Then upload 5 to 34x -112 which will become 34x - 107. very final answer is 34x - 107. Sorry no count if that's incorrect, yet I graduated from the suitable college in S. Korea (Seoul U.) and had at as quickly as A's so i'm rather particular that's good.

(x^2 - 2x - 3)/( x^2- 3x) X x^2/(x^2 - 1)
=(x-3)(x+1)/[x(x-3) X x^2/[(x-1)(x+1)]
= x/(x-1)
