\frac{x^{3}}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-x
Factor x^{2}-9.
\frac{x^{3}}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{x\left(x-3\right)\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. Multiply x times \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}.
\frac{x^{3}-x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{x^{3}}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{3}-x^{3}-3x^{2}+3x^{2}+9x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in x^{3}-x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{9x}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{3}-x^{3}-3x^{2}+3x^{2}+9x.
\frac{9x}{x^{2}-9}
Expand \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right).
