\frac{5}{x-3}-\frac{x-2}{x^{2}-9}+\frac{1}{x-1}
Rewrite \left(x-1\right)^{2} as \left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right). Cancel out x-1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{5}{x-3}-\frac{x-2}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{1}{x-1}

\frac{5\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{x-2}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\frac{1}{x-1}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-3 and \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right) is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{5}{x-3} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}.

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right) and x-1 is \left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{4x+17}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}. Multiply \frac{1}{x-1} times \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}.
\frac{\left(4x+17\right)\left(x-1\right)+\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{\left(4x+17\right)\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
