+%28%289x%5E2-16%29%2F%2820x%5E2-24x%29%29%2F%28%283x%5E2-5x-12%29%2F%285x%5E2-x-6%29%29+
factor all parts

Memorize this rule:
+%28a%2Fb%29%2F%28c%2Fd%29+=+ad%2Fbc+
Apply this rule

cancel like quantities (reduce)
+%28%283x-4%29%281x%2B1%29%29%2F%284x%28x-3%29%29+
This can not be reduced any further
