In a corporate accounting department, precision is vital when calculating the variance between two performance ratios: xx3\frac{x}{x-3} and x2x+3\frac{x-2}{x+3}. To ensure accuracy for a quarterly report, write a short summary of the standard procedure for subtracting these two specific expressions. In your response, list the mathematical steps required to reach the final difference and explicitly state the rule for handling the signs of the second numerator once a common denominator has been established.
