\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-6\right)}{\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right)}-\frac{\left(x+8\right)\left(x+6\right)}{\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+6 and x-6 is \left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right). Multiply \frac{x-3}{x+6} times \frac{x-6}{x-6}. Multiply \frac{x+8}{x-6} times \frac{x+6}{x+6}.
\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-6\right)-\left(x+8\right)\left(x+6\right)}{\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-6\right)}{\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right)} and \frac{\left(x+8\right)\left(x+6\right)}{\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
