Standard Operating Procedure for Ratio Simplification

Imagine you are a technical documentation specialist tasked with writing a 'Standard Operating Procedure' (SOP) for new analysts. You need to explain how to simplify the following performance ratio expression: ((x+9)/(6-x)) รท ((x^2-81)/(x-6)). In your response, describe from memory the complete four-step procedure required to reach the most simplified form. You must explicitly recall and state: 1) The rule for changing the mathematical operation, 2) The factoring method for the quadratic term, and 3) The specific numerical result of dividing the 'opposite' binomials (x-6) and (6-x).
