Its difficult to explain a process for working this out, it's a matter of practice really.
You should be able to check my expression below with the worded question and that might help you if you get another pro like this.
%289%2F%28x-3%29%29-%28x%5E2%2F%28x-3%29%29
because both parts have the same denominator, we can simplify the expression to
%289-x%5E2%29%2F%28x-3%29

I hope this helps
