$\"%28x%5E2-3x-54%29%2F%28x-9%29\"$ Start with the given expression
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28+%28x%2B6%29%28x-9%29%29%2F%28x-9%29\"$ Factor
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28+%28x%2B6%29cross%28x-9%29%29%2Fcross%28x-9%29\"$ Divide and cancel like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B6\"$ So it simplifies to this \n" ); document.write( "
