Answer

$\frac{3}{x+3}-\frac{2}{(x+3)^2}$

Work Step by Step

1. Let the decomposition be $\frac{3x+7}{(x+3)^2}=\frac{A}{x+3}+\frac{B}{(x+3)^2}$ 2. Combine the right side to get $\frac{Ax+3A+B}{(x+3)^2}$ 3. Thus $A=3$ and $3A+B=7$, thus $B=7-3(3)=2$ 4. we have $\frac{3x+7}{(x+3)^2}=\frac{3}{x+3}-\frac{2}{(x+3)^2}$
