#(-2z^2+3z+3)/(z(2z-3)(2z-3))#

In a question involving algebraic fractions, no matter what the operation is, factorize first.

#2/(4z^2-12z+9)-(z+1)/(2z^2-3z)#

#2/((2z-3)(2z-3)) - (z+1)/(z(2z-3))" "larr #find the LCD

=#(2z -(z+1)(2z-3))/(z(2z-3)(2z-3)) " "larr# make equivalent fractions

#(2z -(2z^2-3z+2z-3))/(z(2z-3)(2z-3))" "larr# simplify the numerator

#(2z -2z^2+3z-2z+3)/(z(2z-3)(2z-3))#

#(-2z^2+3z+3)/(z(2z-3)(2z-3))#
