the denominator has to have BOTH denominators contained, and that is (x-3)(x+3)
x^2-9, which is their product, would also be correct but is not a choice.

which of the following is a suitable common denominator for combining there two rational expressions?
(2x+1/x-3) - (3x-2/x+3)
a.(x-3)
b.(x+3)^2
c.(x+3)(x-3)
I don't know where the other person is looking, but it's c. (x + 3)(x - 3)!
