Hi,

2%28x%2B2%29%2F5%28x-3%29 divided by 4%28x-2%29%2F%285x-15%29
This is same as 2%28x%2B2%29%2F5%28x-3%29 * %285x-15%29%2F4%28x-2%29
= 2%28x%2B2%29%2F5%28x-3%29 * 5%28x-3%29%2F4%28x-2%29
by factoring 5x - 15 as 5(x-3)
= %28x%2B2%29%2F2%28x-2%29
[ cancelling the common factors ]
Thus the answer is %28x%2B2%29%2F2%28x-2%29
good luck!!!
