(4x^2 + 15x + 9) / (8x^2 + 10x + 3) divide by (x^2 + 4x) / (2x + 1)

let's see.

4x^2 + 15x +9 factors to 4(x + 3/4)(x + 3).

8x^2 + 10x + 3 factors to 8(x + 3/4)(x + 1/2)

x^2 + 4x factors to x(x + 4)

2x+1 factors to 2(x + 1/2)

so we have

4(x + 3/4)(x + 3) / 8(x + 3/4)(x + 1/2) divide by x(x + 4) / 2(x + 1/2)

there's an x + 3/4 on the top and bottom of the first part, so let's cancel those out

4(x + 3) / 8(x + 1/2) divide by x(x + 4) / 2(x + 1/2)

you can change the divide by to a times if you flip the part on the right

4(x + 3) / 8(x + 1/2) times 2(x + 1/2) / x(x + 4)

multiply the tops together and the bottoms together

8(x + 3)(x + 1/2) / 8x(x + 1/2)(x + 4)

there's an x + 1/2 on the top and bottom, so cancel those out

8(x + 3) / 8x(x + 4)

cancel the 8s out

Solution:  (x + 3) / x(x + 4)
