You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28%28x-3%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%29%2B%28%28x%2B9%29%29%2F%28%28x-3%29%29

This is not an equation so you can't solve it, however you can simplify it putting
it over a single denominator.
:
%28%28%28x-3%29%28x-3%29%29%2B%28%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B9%29%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B3%29%28x-3%29%29 = %28x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+9+%2B+x%5E2+%2B+12x+%2B+27%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+9%29 = %282x%5E2+%2B+6x+%2B+36%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+9%29
Or you can write it:
%282%28x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+18%29%29%2F%28%28x-3%29%28x%2B3%29%29
