Answer

$\dfrac{2(x-1)}{x+6}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{\dfrac{x^2+5x-6}{4x+3}}{\dfrac{(x+6)^2}{8x+6}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{\dfrac{(x+6)(x-1)}{4x+3}}{\dfrac{(x+6)(x+6)}{2(4x+3)}} \\\\= \dfrac{(x+6)(x-1)}{4x+3}\div\dfrac{(x+6)(x+6)}{2(4x+3)} \\\\= \dfrac{(x+6)(x-1)}{4x+3}\cdot\dfrac{2(4x+3)}{(x+6)(x+6)} \\\\= \dfrac{(\cancel{x+6})(x-1)}{\cancel{4x+3}}\cdot\dfrac{2(\cancel{4x+3})}{(\cancel{x+6})(x+6)} \\\\= \dfrac{2(x-1)}{x+6} .\end{array}
