simplify the expression:
5x+15 over 3x divided by x+3 over 9x
-----------------
Invert the denominator and multiply to get:
[5x+15]/[3x] * [9x/(x+3)]
-----------------------
Factor where you can:
[5(x+3)]/[3x] * [9x/(x+3)]
------------
Cancel factors common to a numerator and a denominator to get
such as 3, x, (x+3):
---
[5/1] / [3/1]
---
= 15
------------------------
Cheers,
