You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28%286p+-18%29%2F9p%29%2F%28%283p-9%29%29%2F%28p%5E2%29%29
(I hope that I have represented the problem correctly) This is a case of invert the denominator and multiply
%28%286p+-18%29%2F9p%29%2A%28%28p%5E2%29%2F%283p-9%29%29
%28%282%283p-9%29%2F9p%29%29%2A%28%28p%5E2%29%2F%28%283p-9%29 You can cancel a (3p-9)
2%2Ap%5E2%2F%289%2Ap%29 which yields 2p%2F9 Remember to cancel out a p
I hope this helps
