: Simplify the complex fraction.
3/a+3 +1 divided by 9/a-3 +1
I tried multiplying both the numerator and denomiator by a+3, but then I didn't know what to do with the a-3 on the bottom. I think the +1 cancels out, and 3 can be divided into botht he 3 and 9, but I'm just not sure how to continue. Thanks.
