1/y-1/y-3 = (y-3)/y(y-3) - y/y(y-3)
= (y-3)-y/y(y-3)
= -3/y(y-3)

-3

I suspect you want some brackets to clarify ...
1/y - 1/y = 0
So 1/y - 1/y - 3 = -3

My guess, though, is that you mean

(1/y) - (1/(y-3))

Cross multiply to give a common denominator

= ((y-3) - y) / (y(y-3))

= -3 / (y^2 - 3y)

1/y - 1/y leaves zero so then you're just left with the -3 as the answer.

Simplify 1/y-1/y-3.

(1/y) - (1/y) = 0
So
1/y-1/y-3 = -3

But I suspect you meant:
1/y - 1/(y - 3)

In that case:
1/y - 1/(y - 3) = {(y - 3) - y}/{y(y - 3)} = -3 / {y(y - 3)}

In the future please use parentheses to eliminate ambiguity.

1/y - 1/(y-3)=

Find the common denominator: y*(y-3)

(y-3)/ [y*(y-3)] - (y)/ [y*(y-3)] =

-3/ [y*(y-3)] =

-3/ (y^2-3y)

(y-3)-y/y(y-3)=
y-y-3/y^2-3y
-3/y^2-3y
