You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%283x%5E2%2B10x%2B3%29%2F%28x%2B3%29=%28x%5E2-4x%2B3%29%2F%28x-1%29
Factor
%28%283x%2B1%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%28x%2B3%29=%28%28x-3%29%28x-1%29%29%2F%28x-1%29
You can cancel (x+3 and (x-1) leaving just:
3x + 1 = x - 3
3x - x = -3 - 1
2x = -4
x = -2
:
You should check this solution by substituting -2 for x in the original problem
