1. **Problem:** Resolve the fraction $$\frac{3x - 2}{2x^2 - x}$$ into partial fractions.
2. **Step 1: Factor the denominator.**
$$2x^2 - x = x(2x - 1)$$
3. **Step 2: Set up the partial fractions.**
$$\frac{3x - 2}{x(2x - 1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{2x - 1}$$
4. **Step 3: Multiply both sides by the denominator to clear fractions.**
$$3x - 2 = A(2x - 1) + Bx$$
5. **Step 4: Expand and group terms.**
$$3x - 2 = 2Ax - A + Bx = (2A + B)x - A$$
6. **Step 5: Equate coefficients of like terms.**
- Coefficient of $$x$$: $$3 = 2A + B$$
- Constant term: $$-2 = -A$$
7. **Step 6: Solve for $$A$$ and $$B$$.**
From constant term: $$A = 2$$
Substitute into $$3 = 2A + B$$:
$$3 = 2(2) + B \Rightarrow 3 = 4 + B \Rightarrow B = -1$$
8. **Final answer:**
$$\frac{3x - 2}{2x^2 - x} = \frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{2x - 1}$$
