         3x² - 6x
        —————————— 
            3x

Two methods:

Method 1.  Factor numerator

         3x(x - 2)
        —————————— 
            3x  

Cancel 3x's

          1
         3x(x - 2)
        —————————— 
            3x  
            1

           x - 2

-------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2:  Make two fractions

         3x² - 6x
        —————————— 
            3x

         3x²    6x
        ———— - ———— 
         3x     3x

Simplify the two fractions:

          x      2
         3x²    6x
        ———— - ———— 
         3x     3x
         1      1


           x - 2
