[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{a - 2}{ {a}^{2} + 7a + 6 } - \dfrac{5a - 6}{ {a}^{2} + 7a + 6 } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{a - 2 - (5a - 6)}{ {a}^{2} + 7a + 6 } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{a - 2 - 5a + 6}{ {a}^{2} + 7a + 6 } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{ - 4a + 4}{ {a}^{2} + 7a + 6 } [/tex]
