can somebody help me? fan and medal.
Okay, so you have to know that when you multiply \(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{B}{A} \times \frac{C}{B} }\) then the Bs cancel, and you get C/A. (right?) Then, you also have to know that, \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)}\)
\(\bf \cfrac{\cancel{ (x+3) }}{(x-3)}\times \cfrac{(x^2-9)}{\cancel{(x+3) }}\qquad \begin{cases} {\color{blue}{ a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)}} \\ \quad \\ \bf x^2-9\to x^2-3^2\to (\square -\square )(\square +\square ) \end{cases} \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{(\square -\square )(\square +\square )}{(x-3)}?\)

In your first problem: 1) Is there anything that can be canceled out right away? 2) Can you re-write x^2-9 differently? If you can what will cancel?
you can cancel out x+3 and you can write that out as (x-9) + (x-9)?
