x+2 over x divided by x-2 over 3x.
x+2/x divided by x-2/3x

x+2/x*3x/x-2
(x+2).3x/(x-2).x
3(x+2)/(x-2)

x+2 over x divided by x-2 over 3x.
------------
[(x+2)/x] / [(x-2)/3x]
Invert the denomiator and multiply to get:
= [(x+2)/x] * [3x/(x-2)]
Cancel any factor common to numerator and denominator:
= [3(x+2)]/[(x-2)]
