#=(n+9)/(n+3)#

The first step with algebraic fractions is to factorise wherever possible.

Factorise the quadratic trinomials:

#(3n^2+37n+90)/6 xx 6/(3n^2-19n+30)#

#=((3n+10)(n+9))/6 xx 6/((3n+10)(n+3))#

Now you can simplify by cancelling like factors.

#=(cancel((3n+10))(n+9))/cancel6 xx cancel6/(cancel((3n+10))(n+3))#

#=(n+9)/(n+3)#

You cannot simplify further.
