[(x+2)(2y+5)]/[(3x-1)(y^2+3y+9)] = 0

someone help factorise and simplify. my answer is really messed up. i dont think its even the answer
In expressions like this the simplification comes from cancelling common factors in the numerator and the denominator. So you have to decompose the top and the bottom into smaller factors hopefully to find common factors to cancel.
