You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Factor out the GCF (4).
%28%28x%2B3%29%5E%282%29%29%2F%28x%5E%282%29%29%2A%284y%5E%282%29%29%2F%284%28x%2B3%29%29

Reduce by removing a common factor (4).
%28%28x%2B3%29%5E%282%29%29%2F%28x%5E%282%29%29%2A%28y%5E%282%29%29%2F%28x%2B3%29

Reduce by canceling a common factor(x+3).
%28y%5E%282%29%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%28x%5E%282%29%29

Hope this helps. :)
