Answer:

(2x^2 + x-3)/(4x^2-9)

Explanation:

The denominator looks like an expression in which we have applied the difference of two squares to

In that case, we know that;

a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+ b)

That means we would be have 2x + 3 as the other denominator factor and the expression at the denominator would be;

(2x + 3)(2x-3) = 4x^2 - 9

Also, we would have to cancel out 2x + 3 from the numerator too, so as to be left with only the binomial

That means;

(2x+3)(x-1) = 2x^2-2x+ 3x - 3 = 2x^2+x -3

So we have the original expression as;

(2x^2 + x-3)/(4x^2-9)
