Interpret the expression as ((x^2+5x+6)/(x^2-9))/(6x+9)/(12x^2). Factor and simplify:

x^2+5x+6 = (x+2)(x+3)
x^2-9 = (x-3)(x+3)
6x+9 = 3(2x+3)
12x^2 = 12 x^2

So
((x+2)(x+3))/((x-3)(x+3) · 3(2x+3) · 12x^2)
= (x+2)/(36 x^2 (x-3)(2x+3)).

Keep the original exclusions: x ≠ 3, −3, −3/2, 0 (these make an original denominator zero).
