Answer

$\dfrac{x^{3}-6x^{2}+9x}{x^{2}+4x-21}=\dfrac{x(x-3)}{x+7}$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{x^{3}-6x^{2}+9x}{x^{2}+4x-21}$ Take out common factor $x$ from the numerator and factor the denominator: $\dfrac{x^{3}-6x^{2}+9x}{x^{2}+4x-21}=\dfrac{x(x^{2}-6x+9)}{(x+7)(x-3)}=...$ Factor the parentheses in the numerator and simplify: $...=\dfrac{x(x-3)^{2}}{(x+7)(x-3)}=\dfrac{x(x-3)}{x+7}$
