The next step would be:

$$\frac{9x^2+6x+4}{x^2(x-1)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{C}{x-1}$$

We have;

$$\frac{9x^2+6x+4}{x^2(x-1)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{C}{x-1}$$

The next step is to multiply through by $x^2(x-1)$ to get:

$$9x^2+6x+4=Ax(x-1)+B(x-1)+Cx^2=(A+C)x^2+(B-A)x+(-B)$$

Now, equate coefficients and solve the resulting system. :D
