What is the simplified form of the expression
3x^2-6x-9/x^2-3x
------------------
Factor:
= [3(x^2-2x-3)]/[x(x-2)]
---
= [3(x-3)(x+1)]/[x(x-2)]
----
There are no factors common to numerator and denominator
so the fraction is already in simplified form.

Not sure when "then -2" means

What is the simplified form of the expression
3x^2-6x-9/x^2-3x
------------------
Factor:
= 3(x^2-2x-3)]/[x(x-3)
---
= 3(x-3)(x+1)]/[x(x-3)
Cancel the x-3
= 3(x+1)/x
