You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28X%5E2-9x%29%2F%284x-24%29 * %28x%5E2-36%29%2F%284x%5E2-36x%29 * %288x%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B5x-6%29
We can do a lot of factoring here
%28x%28x-9%29%29%2F%284%28x-6%29%29 * %28%28x-6%29%28x%2B6%29%29%2F%284x%28x-9%29%29 * %288x%29%2F%28%28x%2B6%29%28x-1%29%29
Cancel (x-9), (x-6), (x+6), 4x cancels in to 8x, middle fraction is eliminated
%28x%29%2F%284%29 * 2%2F%28%28x-1%29%29 = %282x%29%2F%284%28x-1%29%29 =
cancel 2 in to 4, leaving only:
%28x%29%2F%282%28x-1%29%29

Do you understand what we did here, any questions?
