Let's assume that your problem, when written with correct parenthesization, is
(2x-3y) ÷ (x-y) - (x+y).
You simply need to get a common denominator; it's (x-y).
To combine the two terms, one of which has no denominator, you need to multiply the last term (by ONE, expressed as (x-y)/(x-y).
Then you have a combined numerator 2x-3y - (x+y)(x-y). From there, you should be able to clean up the new numerator.
