You can put this solution on YOUR website! You still are not making the expression clear. Let me guess that you really are starting with (3^-2)^a*(3^b)^(-2a)/(3^-2)^b*(9^-b)^(-3a) which should render to appear . Still not rendering.
Another try to get the rendering and maybe clarify what you have:
Maybe another tutor will see this and is sharper than am I and understand what you actually have. Meanwhile, learn to use pure text to properly express your rational expression.
