Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$=\frac{2x-3}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$=6x^2\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a\\=\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{2x\cdot \:3x}\\2x\cdot \:3x=6x^2\\=\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{6x^2}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{3x\left(4x-6\right)}{6x^2}:\quad \frac{4x-6}{2x}\\=\frac{4x-6}{2x}\\\mathrm{Factor}\:4x-6:\quad 2\left(2x-3\right)\\=\frac{2\left(2x-3\right)}{2x}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1\\=\frac{2x-3}{x}$
