The first step is to factor the denominator of the first fraction. The expression \(x^2 - 36\) can be factored using the difference of squares formula:
\[ x^2 - 36 = (x - 6)(x + 6) \]
Next, multiply the two fractions:
\[ \frac{9x^2}{(x - 6)(x + 6)} \cdot \frac{x + 6}{3x} \]
Combine the numerators and the denominators:
\[ \frac{9x^2 \cdot (x + 6)}{(x - 6)(x + 6) \cdot 3x} \]
Cancel out the common factor \((x + 6)\) from the numerator and the denominator:
\[ \frac{9x^2}{(x - 6) \cdot 3x} \]
Further simplify by canceling out the common factor \(3x\):
\[ \frac{3x}{x - 6} \]
The simplified expression is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{3x}{x - 6}} \]
