Evaluate `lim_(x to 3)(x^(2) - 9)/(x + 2)`

Explanation

To evaluate the limit \( \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x^2 - 9}{x + 2} \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Substitute the value of \( x \)
We start by substituting \( x = 3 \) directly into the limit expression.

\[ \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x^2 - 9}{x + 2} = \frac{3^2 - 9}{3 + 2} \]
