You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am assuming you mean
x/(x^2-1) - (x+3)/(x^2-x) = -3/(x^2+x)
or
x%2F%28x%5E2-1%29+-+%28x%2B3%29%2F%28x%5E2-x%29+=+-3%2F%28x%5E2%2Bx%29
Next, factor the denominators
x%2F%28%28x-1%29%28x%2B1%29%29+-+%28x%2B3%29%2F%28x%28x-1%29%29+=+-3%2F%28x%28x%2B1%29%29
Working towards getting a common denominator of x(x-1)(x+1)

x(x-1)(x+1)}}
