Answer 2

`1 + (3)/(x)`

Explanation:

1) Rewrite x² - 9 in the form a² - b² where, a = x and b = 3.

`\frac{ {x}^(2) - {3}^(2) }{ {x}^(2) - 3x}`

2) use difference of squares: a² - b² = ( a + b ) (a - b).

`\frac{(x + 3)(x - 3)}{ {x}^(2) - 3x}`

3) Factor out the common term x.

`((x + 3)(x - 3))/( x(x - 3))`

4) Cancle out x - 3 .

`(x + 3)/(x)`

5) Simplify.

`1 + (3)/(x)`

Therefor, the answer is 1 + 3/x.
