Notice, the following steps            3      −      (      3      +      h      )              3      (      3      +      h      )      h        =            3      −      3      −      h              3      (      3      +      h      )      h        =            −      h              3      (      3      +      h      )      h      Cancelling   h in numerator &amp;amp; denominator  =            −      1              3      (      3      +      h      )
