When you see problems like this one, the first method to try is to see if the higher order polynomial has the lower order one as a factor.
%28x%2B9%29+%2F+%288x%5E2+%2B65x+-63%29
%28x%2B9%29+%2F+%28%28x%2B9%29%288x-7%29%29 and so it does
1%2F%288x-7%29
Here is a URL that helps with this type of factoring
