%28%28x%5E2+-6x+%2B9%29%2F%28-24x%29%29%2F%28%28x-3%29%2F%28-6x%29%29

Just like when you first learned to divide fractions, the rule is "invert and multiply," so:



Now, let's factor the first term numerator:

%28%28x-3%29%28x-3%29%2F%28-24x%29%29%2A%28%28-6x%29%2F%28x-3%29%29

And remove common factors from numerator and denominator:



I believe that is your answer a -- Final Answer, Regis.

Hope that helps,
