I am trying to solve this question regarding rational expressions.
The question is r squared minus 5r plus 6 over r squared minus 4 equals ?
-----------------------
[r^2 - 5r + 6]/[r^2-4]
---
Factor where you can:
---
[(r-3)(r-2)]/[(r-2)(r+2)]
---
Cancel the common r-2 factor to get:
---
= (r-3)/(r+2)
