You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 – 9x + 20/ 3x – 15 ÷ x^2 – 16/9x + 36
----------------------------------------------
Factor where you can to get:
[(x-5)(x-4)/3(x-5)] / [(x^2+4)(x+2)(x-2)/9(x+4)]
Cancel where you can: 3 cancels with the 9
=[3(x-5)(x-4)(x+4)] / [(x-5)(x^2+4)(x+2)(x-2)]
