First simplify.
%288x%5E2+y%2Fz%5E3%29%5E2=%2864x%5E4y%5E2%29%2F%28z%5E6%29
Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.

Use the common denominator,d%5E2+-+9=%28d-3%29%28d%2B3%29
5%2F%282d+%2B+6%29=%285%2F2%29%2F%28d%2B3%29
5%2F%282d+%2B+6%29=%28%285%2F2%29%28d-3%29%29%2F%28%28d-3%29%28d%2B3%29%29
