(2x^2-9x+9) divided by (x-3)
(2x^2-6x-3x+9) divided by (x-3)
{ 2x(x-3) -3(x-3) divided by ( x-3)
(x-3) (2x-3) divided by (x-3)
so answer is (2x-3) { as (x-3) gets cancelled.}

Here's what you have to do.

first, you have to factor the first part of the equation
( 2x^2 - 9x + 9 ) = ( 2x - 3 )( x - 3 )

now ( 2x - 3 )( x - 3 )divided by ( x-3 ) or
( 2x - 3 )( x - 3 ) / ( x - 3 )

The factors ( x - 3 ) cancel each other out on the top and bottom
and you are left with 2x-3.
You can further divide 2x-3 / x-3 and you are left with 1x

So 1x is the answer.

Well, 2x^2-9x+9 factors to (x-3)(2x-3) if that helps.
