Multiplication of a whole number with a fraction?

3+(5/x) times (3/x)

Ok I used to know how to do this.... and I know the answer is 9x+15/x^2 because my graphing calculator says so, but what are the steps if I were to do it on paper?

I know I am forgetting one step, but I can't figure out what it is. I think that I am supposed to do something with the 8 to make it a fraction too, but I don't know what to do to it to make it work. I think this is where my problem is, but I am not sure.

:) Thanks for your help.
