#(10a)/(9(a-9))=(10a)/(9a-81)#

Let's first turn the division into multiplication:

#(a-3)/(9a) -: (a^2-12a+27)/(10a^2)#

#(a-3)/(9a) xx (10a^2)/(a^2-12a+27)#

Let's now factor the right side denominator:

#cancel(a-3)/(9a) xx (10a^2)/((a-9)cancel((a-3)))#

#(10cancela^2)/(9cancela(a-9))#

#(10a)/(9(a-9))=(10a)/(9a-81)#
