Given rational expression is:



((4x^2-32x+48))/((3x^2-17x-6))

Now we can simplify this by factoring as shown below:



=(4(x^2-8x+12))/((3x^2-17x-6))



=(4(x-2)\left(x-6\right))/((3x^2-18x+1x-6))



=(4(x-2)\left(x-6\right))/(3x\left(x-6\right)+1\left(x-6\right))



=(4(x-2)\left(x-6\right))/((3x+1)\left(x-6\right))



=(4(x-2))/((3x+1))



Hence final answer is
(4(x-2))/((3x+1))
