Eliminate common factors in the numerator and denominator,
%289-x%5E2%29%2F%28x-3%29=%28%283-x%29%283%2Bx%29%29%2F%28x-3%29
%289-x%5E2%29%2F%28x-3%29=%28-%28x-3%29%283%2Bx%29%29%2F%28x-3%29
%289-x%5E2%29%2F%28x-3%29=%28-cross%28%28x-3%29%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2Fcross%28%28x-3%29%29
%289-x%5E2%29%2F%28x-3%29=-%28x%2B3%29
