\frac{6x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{3}{x+3}
Factor x^{2}-9.
\frac{6x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
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+3 is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{3}{x+3} times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.
\frac{6x-3\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{6x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{3\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{6x-3x+9}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in 6x-3\left(x-3\right).
\frac{3x+9}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in 6x-3x+9.
\frac{3\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{3x+9}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}.
\frac{3}{x-3}
Cancel out x+3 in both numerator and denominator.
