\(\dfrac{x^2}{x-4}\)- \(\dfrac{x}{x-2}+\dfrac{2}{x+2}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2}{x-4}-\dfrac{x\left(x+2\right)+2\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}\)
=\(\dfrac{x^2}{x-4}-\dfrac{x\left(x+2\right)+2\left(x-2\right)}{x-4}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2-x\left(x+2\right)+2\left(x-2\right)}{x-4}\)
\(=\dfrac{x^2-x^2-2x+2x-4}{x-4}\)
\(=-\dfrac{4}{x-4}\)
