$$a- \frac{ 3 }{ a }$$

$a-\frac{3}{a}$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply $a$ times $\frac{a}{a}$.

$$\frac{aa}{a}-\frac{3}{a}$$

Since $\frac{aa}{a}$ and $\frac{3}{a}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{aa-3}{a}$$

Do the multiplications in $aa-3$.

$$\frac{a^{2}-3}{a}$$

$\frac{a^{2}-3}{a}$
