1. **State the problem:** Multiply and divide the rational expressions:
$$\frac{4x^3+4x^2}{2x} \div \frac{x^2-1}{x^2+2x-3} \cdot \frac{x+3}{x^2+3x}$$
2. **Rewrite division as multiplication by reciprocal:**
$$\frac{4x^3+4x^2}{2x} \times \frac{x^2+2x-3}{x^2-1} \times \frac{x+3}{x^2+3x}$$
3. **Factor all polynomials:**
- Numerator and denominator of first fraction:
$$4x^3+4x^2 = 4x^2(x+1)$$
$$2x = 2x$$
- Factor second fraction numerator and denominator:
$$x^2+2x-3 = (x+3)(x-1)$$
$$x^2-1 = (x-1)(x+1)$$
- Factor denominator of third fraction:
$$x^2+3x = x(x+3)$$
4. **Rewrite expression with factors:**
$$\frac{4x^2(x+1)}{2x} \times \frac{(x+3)(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)} \times \frac{x+3}{x(x+3)}$$
5. **Cancel common factors step-by-step:**
- Cancel $x$ in first fraction:
$$\frac{4x^2(x+1)}{\cancel{2x}} = \frac{4x^2(x+1)}{2\cancel{x}}$$
- Simplify $\frac{4x^2}{2} = 2x^2$:
$$2x^2(x+1)$$
- Cancel $(x-1)$ in second fraction numerator and denominator:
$$\frac{(x+3)\cancel{(x-1)}}{\cancel{(x-1)}(x+1)} = \frac{x+3}{x+1}$$
- Cancel $(x+3)$ in third fraction numerator and denominator:
$$\frac{\cancel{x+3}}{x\cancel{(x+3)}} = \frac{1}{x}$$
6. **Multiply the simplified expressions:**
$$2x^2(x+1) \times \frac{x+3}{x+1} \times \frac{1}{x}$$
7. **Cancel $(x+1)$:**
$$2x^2\cancel{(x+1)} \times \frac{x+3}{\cancel{(x+1)}} \times \frac{1}{x} = 2x^2 \times (x+3) \times \frac{1}{x}$$
8. **Simplify $\frac{2x^2}{x} = 2x$:**
$$2x(x+3)$$
9. **Final simplified expression:**
$$\boxed{2x(x+3)}$$
