Add or subtract as indicated.simplify as much as possible,showing all factoring,canceling,and steps for finding the lowest common denominator. Assume that no denominator is zero.
M/m^2-9 - 3/m^2 -9
------------------
Since the denominators are the same, the lcd is m^2-9.
----
Ans:: M/lcd - 3/lcd = (M-3)/lcd
