Answer:


(x^2 + 3)/(x^2 - 4x + 3)

Explanation:

This expression means this:


x - (3)/(x) - 1 + (6)/(x) - 3

The result is
x + (3)/(x) + 4,

but I don't think that is what you mean.

Be careful with expressions with fractions. You may need to use parentheses.

I think you mean this:


(x - 3)/(x - 1) + (6)/(x - 3) =

This is an addition of fractions. You need a common denominator. The LCD of x - 1 and x - 3 is (x - 1)(x - 3).


= ((x - 3)(x - 3))/((x - 1)(x - 3)) + (6(x - 1))/((x - 3)(x - 1))


= (x^2 - 6x + 9)/((x - 1)(x - 3)) + (6x - 6)/((x - 1)(x - 3))


= (x^2 - 6x + 9 + 6x - 6)/((x - 1)(x - 3))


= (x^2 + 3)/(x^2 - 4x + 3)
