\frac{x\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{\left(x-8\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. Least common multiple of x-3 and x+3 is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{x}{x-3} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}. Multiply \frac{x-8}{x+3} times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.
\frac{x\left(x+3\right)-\left(x-8\right)\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{x\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{\left(x-8\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^{2}+3x-x^{2}+3x+8x-24}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in x\left(x+3\right)-\left(x-8\right)\left(x-3\right).
\frac{14x-24}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+3x-x^{2}+3x+8x-24.
\frac{14x-24}{x^{2}-9}
Expand \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{x\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{\left(x-8\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. Least common multiple of x-3 and x+3 is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{x}{x-3} times \frac{x+3}{x+3}. Multiply \frac{x-8}{x+3} times \frac{x-3}{x-3}.
