x^2+6x+9/2x^2y-18y / 6xy+18y/3x^2y-27y
---
[(x+3)^2] / [2y(x-3)(x+3)] / [6y(x+3)] / 3y(x-3)(x+3)]
Do some canceling before inverting the denominator:
= [(x+3)/[2y(x-3)] / [2/(x-3)]
Invert the denominator and multiply
= [(x+3)/[2y(x-3)] * [(x-3)/2]
Cancel factors common to a numerator and a denominator:
= [(x+3)/[2(2y)]
= (x+3)/(4y)

divide this rational expression

-----------

:
Factor

-----------

:
Cancel 3y into 6y, (the denominator fraction), factor (x^2-9)'s

-----------

:
Cancel the x+3's, (both fractions)

-----------

:
Invert the dividing fraction and multiply, cancel (x-3)'s
* = is the solution
