x-4/ x-3 + 6/ x2-9

I believe you have %28x-4%29%2F%28x-3%29+%2B+6%2F%28x%5E2-9%29.

Simplest common denominator would be %28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29=x%5E2-9.

%28%28x-4%29%2F%28x-3%29%29%28%28x%2B3%29%2F%28x%2B3%29%29%2B6%2F%28x%5E2-9%29

%28%28x-4%29%28x%2B3%29%2B6%29%2F%28x%5E2-9%29

%28x%5E2-x-12%2B6%29%2F%28x%5E2-9%29

%28x%5E2-x-6%29%2F%28x%5E2-9%29 and this is probably the form you want; otherwise, if reducing is possible, the meaning may be changed.
