%283x%2B15%29%2F%283x%5E2%2B+24x%2B45%29



             3x + 15

        _______________      note: 3x^2 + 24x + 45 ≠ 0

        3x^2 + 24x + 45 





           3(x + 5)

       ________________    (3x + 9) (x + 5)≠ 0

       (3x + 9) (x + 5) 





           cross%283%29 cross%28x+%2B+5%29

       ________________              restrictions  x = -5

       cross%283%29(x + 3)cross%28x+%2B+5%29                          x = -3
