x-8/x-9-x+1/x+9+x-17/x^2-81 =x^3-81x^2-7x-27/x^2.

Can some check this my answer and see if it corre4ct please.

you appear to have completely ignored the order of operation, you must use brackets to show the expression in its proper way.
I will assume you meant

(x-8)/(x-9) - (x+1)/(x+9) + (x-17)/(x^2-81)

did you notice that x^2-81 = (x+9)(x-9), so x^2-81 is the LCD

then
(x-8)/(x-9) - (x+1)/(x+9) + (x-17)/(x^2-81)
=[(x-8)(x+9) - (x+1)(x-9) + x-17]/(x^2-81)
= [x^2+x-72 - (x^2-8x-9) + x-17]/(x^2-81)
= [x^2+x-72-x^2+8x-9+x-17]/(x^2-81)
= (10x-80)/(x^2-81)

check my steps, I tend to make stupid mistakes when typing and working out these questions at the same time
Thanks Reiny this is my first time and the operations was not in brackets so I DID NOT KNOW
No problem,
may people have difficulty writing fractions in this format, it is hard to create them

if you write x-8/x+9

it really means x - 8/x + 9 according to BEDMAS
so it is necessary to use brackets.
