1. **Simplify** $\frac{4}{p-3} - \frac{1}{p+2}$.
2. To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator: $(p-3)(p+2)$.
3. Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator:
$$\frac{4(p+2)}{(p-3)(p+2)} - \frac{1(p-3)}{(p+2)(p-3)} = \frac{4(p+2) - (p-3)}{(p-3)(p+2)}$$
4. Simplify the numerator:
$$4p + 8 - p + 3 = 3p + 11$$
5. So the simplified expression is:
$$\frac{3p + 11}{(p-3)(p+2)}$$
