Answer

$-\dfrac{4(2x+9)}{5}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{4x-12}{2x-9}\div\dfrac{3-x}{4x^2-81}\cdot\dfrac{x+3}{5x+15} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{4x-12}{2x-9}\cdot\dfrac{4x^2-81}{3-x}\cdot\dfrac{x+3}{5x+15} \\\\= \dfrac{4(x-3)}{2x-9}\cdot\dfrac{(2x+9)(2x-9)}{-(x-3)}\cdot\dfrac{x+3}{5(x+3)} \\\\= \dfrac{4(\cancel{x-3})}{\cancel{2x-9}}\cdot\dfrac{(2x+9)(\cancel{2x-9})}{-(\cancel{x-3})}\cdot\dfrac{\cancel{x+3}}{5(\cancel{x+3})} \\\\= \dfrac{4(2x+9)}{-5} \\\\= -\dfrac{4(2x+9)}{5} .\end{array}
