Where did you get your answers? What did you do to get those? I will tell you what you did wrong.

#1 I get

2n^2/(n-6)

#2
(2x^2 + 8x + 6)/x / (2x^2 + 2x)/(x^3 - x^2)

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

#3
8b^3c/b^2c / (4b^2 + 4b)
8b / 4b(b+1)
2/(b+1)

Next time, show your steps. You are evidently taking some wrong turns.
