Answer:

(x^2 - 9) / (x^2 - 3x) is (x + 3) / x.

Explanation:

Factor the numerator (x^2 - 9):

x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3)

Factor the denominator (x^2 - 3x):

x^2 - 3x = x(x - 3)

Rewrite the expression:

(x^2 - 9) / (x^2 - 3x) = [(x - 3)(x + 3)] / [x(x - 3)]

Simplify by canceling out the common factor of (x - 3):

(x^2 - 9) / (x^2 - 3x) = (x + 3) / x
