Answer: Option A is correct
((x+2)(x+5))/((x^(3)-9))

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation
(2x+5)/(x^(2) -3x)
- (3x+5)/(x^(3) -9x)
- (x+1)/(x^(2) -9)

will become as below after taking out the lcm x(x-3)(x+3)


(2x+5)/(x(x-3)) -(3x+5)/(x(x-3)(x+3)) -(x+1)/((x-3)(x+3))

after simplifying

we will get
((2x+5)(x+3)-(3x+5)-x(x+1))/(x(x-3)(x+3))

After further simplification we will get


(2x^(2) +11x+15-3x-5-x^(2)-x)/(x( x^(2)-9))

On more simplification we will get


(x^(2) +7x+10)/(x(x^(2)-9))

finally after simplification we will get


((x+2)(x+5))/(x(x^(2)-9))

which will lead to the final result


((x+2)(x+5))/(x^(3)-9x)
