Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, factor out the common terms in both the numerator and the denominator. The numerator $9x^2 - 36x$ can be factored as $9x(x - 4)$, and the denominator $15x^2 - 60x$ can be factored as $15x(x - 4)$. Simplifying this gives $\frac{9x(x - 4)}{15x(x - 4)}$. The $x(x - 4)$ terms cancel out, leaving $\frac{9}{15}$, which simplifies further to $\frac{3}{5}$.
