I am unable to solve this specific problem.
The only "notable series expansion" I can use (and know) is $\sum^{+\infty}_0 x^n =$$1\over(1-x)$
I tried several things but none worked.
Writing $x\over(1+x-2x^2)$ as $x * {1 \over(1-(-x+2x^2))}$$= x \sum(-x+2x^2)^n$ did not help. Differentiation and integration also seem to not lead anywhere.
If it helps, the answer should be $\sum {(1 - (-1)^n * 2^n) \over 3} * x ^n$
Another thing is could not, and really tried, finding an online series representation calculator.
Do partial fractions on it and you'll be fine
