When adding/subtracting fractions you need a common denominator, but you already have one, which is x-3. So in general:
a/c-b/c=(a-b)/c so you just have:
(2x-6)/(x-3) now if you factor 2 from the numerator
2(x-3)/(x-3) the (x-3)s cancel out leaving
2
However! Note that division by zero is undefined, so x cannot equal 3. (because both original fractions had denominators of x-3)
What this all means is that that expression will equal 2 for all real values of x other than 3.

Answer:
Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the time taken by the aircraft = 5 hours
Let the distance covered = X
Speed = V
Time taken by the ship = 7 hours
Let the distance covered = Y
Speed = 8V
Since it is 8 km/h faster than the aircraft carrier.
Using the speed formula
Speed = distance/time
Distance = speed × time
For the aircraft;
X = 5V
For the ship:
Y = 7 × 8V = 56V
Since they are 303km distance apart,
X + Y = 303
5V + 56V = 303
61V = 303
V = 303/61
V = 4.97 km/h
Aircraft carrier speed = 4.97 km/h
