a) \(\dfrac{x+9}{x^2-9}\)-\(\dfrac{3}{x^2+3x}\) = \(\dfrac{x+9}{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)-\(\dfrac{3}{x\left(x+3\right)}\)
= \(\dfrac{x^2+9x-3x+9}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)
= \(\dfrac{x^2+6x+9}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)
= \(\dfrac{\left(x+3\right)^2}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)
