You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, you posted an expression. There is no equals sign. Expressions cannot be solved. Expressions can only be simplified. Please provide the full equation or explain that the problem is to simplify the expression.

Second, I'm not sure you meant what you posted. What you posted means:
6%2Fa%2B2-1%2Fa-3
Is this correct? If not, then please put multiple-term numerators and denominators in parentheses. For example:
6/(a+2) - 1/(a-3)
would be used to mean:
6%2F%28a%2B2%29+-+1%2F%28a-3%29

Please re-post , providing the full, correct problem and using parentheses to made the expression clear.
