Factor and simplify

%28x%5E2-9%29%2F%282x-6%29

%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%282x-6%29

%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%282%28x-3%29%29

%28highlight%28%28x-3%29%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%282%2Ahighlight%28%28x-3%29%29%29

%28cross%28%28x-3%29%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%282%2Across%28%28x-3%29%29%29

%28x%2B3%29%2F2

So %28x%5E2-9%29%2F%282x-6%29 simplifies to %28x%2B3%29%2F2
