Answer

$\dfrac{5z+6}{(z+3)(z-3)}$

Work Step by Step

Factoring the given expression, $ \dfrac{3z}{z^2-9}-\dfrac{2}{3-z} ,$ results to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{3z}{(z+3)(z-3)}-\dfrac{2}{-(z-3)} \\\\= \dfrac{3z}{(z+3)(z-3)}+\dfrac{2}{z-3} .\end{array} Using the $LCD= (z+3)(z-3) $, the expression above simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{1(3z)+(z+3)(2)}{(z+3)(z-3)} \\\\= \dfrac{3z+2z+6}{(z+3)(z-3)} \\\\= \dfrac{5z+6}{(z+3)(z-3)} .\end{array}
