Sign Transformation in Rational Subtraction

A data analyst is calculating the variance between two performance metrics using the expression xx3x2x+3\frac{x}{x-3} - \frac{x-2}{x+3}. After finding a common denominator and expanding the second numerator (x2)(x3)(x-2)(x-3) into x25x+6x^2 - 5x + 6, the analyst must distribute the subtraction sign across these three terms before combining them with the first numerator. List the three resulting terms of the second numerator after this negative sign has been correctly distributed.
