\frac{x-15}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{2\left(-1\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 \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right) and 3-x is \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{2}{3-x} times \frac{-\left(x+3\right)}{-\left(x+3\right)}.
\frac{x-15-2\left(-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{x-15}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{2\left(-1\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-15+2x+6}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in x-15-2\left(-1\right)\left(x+3\right).
\frac{3x-9}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in x-15+2x+6.
\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.
