Wsol /. a_/b_ :> a/Factor@b

{{W11 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/

        x21*y32)), W12 ->

or just:

Simplify@Wsol

{{W11 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/
      (L86^2*((-x32)*y21 +
        x21*y32)), W12 ->
     -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/
       (L86^2*(x32*y21 -
         x21*y32))),
    W21 -> (A2*x21 + A1*x32)/
      (L75^2*((-x32)*y21 +
        x21*y32)), W22 ->
     -((A2*y21 + A1*y32)/
       (L75^2*(x32*y21 -
         x21*y32)))}}
