1. **State the problem:** We are given two functions:
$$k(x) = \frac{6x+5}{7x-9}$$
$$h(x) = \frac{5x-2}{9x+1}$$
We need to find the composition $kh$, which means $k(h(x))$.
2. **Recall the composition formula:**
$$kh(x) = k(h(x)) = k\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right)$$
This means we substitute $h(x)$ into every $x$ in $k(x)$.
3. **Substitute $h(x)$ into $k(x)$:**
$$k\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right) = \frac{6\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right) + 5}{7\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right) - 9}$$
4. **Simplify numerator:**
$$6\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right) + 5 = \frac{6(5x-2)}{9x+1} + \frac{5(9x+1)}{9x+1} = \frac{30x - 12 + 45x + 5}{9x+1} = \frac{75x - 7}{9x+1}$$
5. **Simplify denominator:**
$$7\left(\frac{5x-2}{9x+1}\right) - 9 = \frac{7(5x-2)}{9x+1} - \frac{9(9x+1)}{9x+1} = \frac{35x - 14 - 81x - 9}{9x+1} = \frac{-46x - 23}{9x+1}$$
6. **Write the full expression:**
$$k(h(x)) = \frac{\frac{75x - 7}{9x+1}}{\frac{-46x - 23}{9x+1}}$$
7. **Divide the fractions:**
$$k(h(x)) = \frac{75x - 7}{9x+1} \times \frac{9x+1}{-46x - 23}$$
8. **Cancel common factor $9x+1$:**
$$k(h(x)) = \frac{75x - 7}{\cancel{9x+1}} \times \frac{\cancel{9x+1}}{-46x - 23} = \frac{75x - 7}{-46x - 23}$$
9. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{k(h(x)) = \frac{75x - 7}{-46x - 23}}$$
This is the composition of $k$ and $h$.
