-----------------
Cancel anything you can, so as to simplify things.
x%5E2%2F%28x%5E2-4%29+%2A+%28x%5E2-5x%2B6%29%2F%28x%5E2-3x%29
=x%2F%28x%5E2-4%29+%2A+%28x%5E2-5x%2B6%29%2F%28x-3%29
=x%2F%28x%5E2-4%29+%2A+%28x-2%29%2A%28x-3%29%2F%28x-3%29
=x%2F%28x%5E2-4%29+%2A+%28x-2%29
=x%2F%28%28x-2%29%2A%28x%2B2%29%29+%2A+%28x-2%29
=x/(x+2)
