\frac{4}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}}-\frac{5}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Factor x^{2}-6x+9. Factor x^{2}-9.
\frac{4\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}}-\frac{5\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-3\right)^{2} and \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right) is \left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}. Multiply \frac{4}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}. Multiply \frac{5}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.
\frac{4\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}}
Since \frac{4\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}} and \frac{5\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{4x+12-5x+15}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}}
Do the multiplications in 4\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-3\right).
\frac{-x+27}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}}
Combine like terms in 4x+12-5x+15.
\frac{-x+27}{x^{3}-3x^{2}-9x+27}
Expand \left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)^{2}.
