I found an alternative. We must do double conjugate. One for the numerator and one for the denominator.
I presume you are able to factorise the resulting denominator’s (x3 - 3x - 2) by Guess and check and Long division.

The x - 2 expression which I have found in the middle of my workings is the root cause of why the fraction becomes 0/0. Once this is eliminated, there will no longer be any x - 2 present in the denominator and all other expressions there cannot be zero, so we obtain a nice number.
Now I understand how to do this question. Thank you so much for your help!
