2%2F%28x+-+3%29+%2B+3%2F%283+-+x%29 Start with the given expression


2%2F%28x+-+3%29+%2B+3%2F%28-%28x-3%29%29 Factor 3-x to get -%28x-3%29


2%2F%28x+-+3%29+-+3%2F%28x-3%29 Reduce


%282-3%29%2F%28x+-+3%29 Now that the fractions have equal denominators, we can combine them

-1%2F%28x+-+3%29 Subtract



So 2%2F%28x+-+3%29+%2B+3%2F%283+-+x%29=-1%2F%28x+-+3%29 where x%3C%3E3
