You're right about that, invert and mult, you have;
%286p-18%29%2F%289p%29 * %28p%5E2+%2B+2p%29%2F%283p-9%29
:
Note all the factoring you can do
%286%28p-3%29%29%2F%289p%29 * %28p%28p+%2B+2%29%29%2F%283%28p-3%29%29
:
Cancel the 3 into the 6, and the p's, you have:
%282%28p-3%29%29%2F%289%29 * %28%28p+%2B+2%29%29%2F%28%28p-3%29%29
:
Notice you can cancel the (p-3)'s also, resulting in:
%282%29%2F%289%29 * (p + 2) = %282%28p%2B2%29%29%2F9

Has this fattened your information store somewhat?
