Remember: To divide is to multiply by the reciprocal. So, first, let’s change the division to multiplication:

[(3)/(x+2)] [(x)/(6)]

Now, we have a 3 in the numerator that cancels with the 6 in the denominator, leaving a factor of 2. Nothing else reduces.

x / [2(x+2)]

That’s it. Hope you understand.
