6p – 18/ 9p dividing sign 3p – 9/ p^2 + 2p
:
Remember when you divide fractions, you invert the dividing fraction and multiply:
%28%286p-18%29%29%2F%289p%29 * %28%28p%5E2%2B2p%29%29%2F%28%283p-9%29%29
:
Factor out what you can:
%286%28p-3%29%29%2F%289p%29 * %28p%28p%2B2%29%29%2F%283%28p-3%29%29
:
You can cancel 3 into 6; the p's and the (p-3)'s
%282%29%2F%289%29 * (p+2) = %282%28p%2B2%29%29%2F9
