%28%286p-18%29%2F9p%29+%2F%28%28+3p-9%29%2F%28p%5E2%2B2p%29%29
%28%286p-18%29%28+p%5E2%2B2p%29%29+%2F%28+3p-9%299p..........factor out: from first term in
nominator 6, from second term in nominator p, then from first term in denominator 3
we will have:

%286%28p-3%29p%28+p%2B2%29%29+%2F3%28+p-3%299p............cancel p-3 and p in both nominator
and denominator, and divide 6 in nominator and 3 in denominator by 3
%282%28+p%2B2%29%29+%2F9............
