Answer

$\dfrac{3x}{4(3x+ 5)}, x\ne-\dfrac{5}{3}, 0$.

Work Step by Step

Note that: $\dfrac{3}{2x}\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{6x+10}=\dfrac{3}{2x}\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2(3x)+2(5)}$ Factor each expression completely: $=\dfrac{3}{2x}\cdot \dfrac{x^2}{2(3x+ 5)}$ Cancel common factor $x$:. $=\dfrac{3x}{4(3x+ 5)}, x\ne-\dfrac{5}{3}, 0$ Hence, the lowest term is: $=\dfrac{3x}{4(3x+ 5)}, x\ne-\dfrac{5}{3}, 0$.
