Answer:

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

Explanation:

An equivalent fraction is formed by multiplying or dividing numerator and denominator by the same factor.

__

To get the desired denominator, the given denominator must be multiplied by (x-3). To get the desired numerator of the equivalent fraction, the numerator must also be multiplied by (x-3).


(3x-1)/(x+2)=\boxed{((x-3)(3x-1))/((x-3)(x+2))=(3x^2-10x+3)/(x^2-x-6)}
