SOLUTION: x+1/x^2+2-3 divided by 3x+9/x-3 I came up with x+1/3(x-3)(x-1) but i know that's not right. I'm factoring then multiply. any ideas where i went wrong?

What do you think the correct answer should be? and why?
x^2+2-3 should be x^2+2x-3 which equals (x-1)*(x+3)
(x+1)/(x^2+2x-3)* (x-3)/(3x+9)
