2x^2-18y^2/3y-x



   2x^2 - 18y^2

 _________________    Factor the numerator

      3y - x







  2 (x^2 - 9y^2)

 ________________

     3y - x







 2 (x + 3y)(x - 3y)

____________________

       3y - x





  -2 (x + 3y)(-x + 3y)

_______________________

         3y - x





  -2 (x + 3y)(3y - x)

_______________________

       3y - x









  -2 (x + 3y)
