(x^2 +9x +14) / (x^2-49) divided by (3x+6) / (x^2 +x -56)
is the same as
(x^2+9x+14) / (x^2-49) TIMES (x^2+x-56) / (3x+6)
factor fully then cancel like crazy.
(x+7)(x+2) / (x+7)(x-7) TIMES (x+8)(x-7) / 3(x+2)
NOTE that in the left fraction, (x+7) / (x+7) = 1, so they cancel each other out
(x+2) / (x-7) TIMES (x+8)(x-7) / 3(x+2)
NOTE that through cross-cancelling, (x+2)s cancel each other out
1 / (x-7) TIMES (x+8)(x-7) / 3
NOTE that (x-7)s cross-ccancel each other out
1 / 1 TIMES (x+8) / 3
(x+8) / 3
can't simplify further, give restrictions.

just factorise each expression then simplify
