With a problem like this (a Complex fraction) remember this rule:
+%28a%2Fb%29%2F%28c%2Fd%29+=+ad%2Fbc+
Apply this to your problem
+%286p-18%29%28p%5E2%2B2p%29%2F9%283p-9%29+
Factor all pieces
+6%28p-3%29p%28p%2B2%29%2F%289%2A3%28p-3%29%29+
Cancel the (p-3) in the numerator and denominator
+6p%28p%2B2%29%2F%289%2A3%29+
Reduce the 6 and the 3
+%282p%28p%2B2%29%29%2F9+
