we need to get a common denominator:

+3%2F%28x%2B2%29+-+x%2F%28x-3%29+
+%283%2F%28x%2B2%29%29%28%28x-3%29%2F%28x-3%29%29+-+%28x%2F%28x-3%29%29%28%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B2%29%29+
+%283%28x-3%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29+-+%28x%29%28x%2B2%29%2F%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B2%29%29+
+%283%28x-3%29+-+%28x%29%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29+
+%283x-9-x%5E2-2x%29%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29+
+%28-x%5E2%2Bx-9%29%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%28x-3%29%29+

the numerator doesn't factorise easily, so leave it.
