I'm assuming the given expression is (x-3)/(x+2)
One way to break that down into the form A+B, where A and B are rational expressions, is to have
A = x/(x+2)
B = -3/(x+2)
The numerators x and -3 are added to get x-3 and the result is placed over the LCD (lowest common denominator)

We want to come p with two expressions such that the sum is the given rational expression, the two expressions can be:
[tex]\frac{x}{x + 2} \\ \\ \frac{-3}{x + 2} [/tex]
How to find the expressions?
We want to find two expressions, that we can call f(x) and g(x) such that:
[tex]f(x) + g(x) = \frac{x - 3}{x + 2} [/tex]
So what we can try to do is to "break" the right part into two different parts, and each one of these will be an expression:
[tex]\frac{x - 3}{x + 2} = \frac{x}{x + 2} + \frac{-3}{x + 2} [/tex]
So the two expressions can be:
[tex]\frac{x}{x + 2} \\ \\ \frac{-3}{x + 2} [/tex]
