Answer

$\dfrac{-x+17}{(x-2)(x+3)}$

Work Step by Step

Using the $LCD= (x-2)(x+3) $, the given expression, $ \dfrac{3}{x-2}-\dfrac{4}{x+3} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(x+3)(3)-(x-2)(4)}{(x-2)(x+3)} \\\\= \dfrac{3x+9-4x+8}{(x-2)(x+3)} \\\\= \dfrac{-x+17}{(x-2)(x+3)} .\end{array}
