The third denominator is the difference of squares and can be factored to;
=
Multiply each term by (x-3)(x+3)
(x-3)(x+3)* - (x-3)(x+3)* = (x-3)(x+3)*
Cancel the denominators and you have:
2(x+3) - 4(x-3) = 8
2x + 6 - 4x + 12 = 8
2x - 4x + 18 = 8
-2x = 8 - 18
-2x = -10
x = +5

Check this in the original problem for x = 5
