I'll do the first two to get you headed in the right direction


%289%2F%28r-8%29%29%2F%289%2F%28r%2B8%29%29 Start with the given expression.


%289%2F%28r-8%29%29%28%28r%2B8%29%2F9%29 Multiply the first upper fraction by the reciprocal of the second lower fraction.


%289%28r%2B8%29%29%2F%289%28r-8%29%29 Combine the fractions.


%28highlight%289%29%28r%2B8%29%29%2F%28highlight%289%29%28r-8%29%29 Highlight the common terms.


%28cross%289%29%28r%2B8%29%29%2F%28cross%289%29%28r-8%29%29 Cancel out the common terms.


%28r%2B8%29%2F%28r-8%29 Simplify


So %289%2F%28r-8%29%29%2F%289%2F%28r%2B8%29%29=%28r%2B8%29%2F%28r-8%29 where r%3C%3E-8 or r%3C%3E8

# 2

%28r%5E2-4%29%2F%28r%5E2-4r%2B4%29 Start with the given expression


%28%28r%2B2%29%28r-2%29%29%2F%28r%5E2-4r%2B4%29 Factor the numerator


%28%28r%2B2%29%28r-2%29%29%2F%28%28r-2%29%28r-2%29%29 Factor the denominator


%28%28r%2B2%29highlight%28%28r-2%29%29%29%2F%28highlight%28%28r-2%29%29%28r-2%29%29 Highlight the common terms.


%28%28r%2B2%29cross%28%28r-2%29%29%29%2F%28cross%28%28r-2%29%29%28r-2%29%29 Cancel out the common terms.


%28r%2B2%29%2F%28r-2%29 Simplify


So %28r%5E2-4%29%2F%28r%5E2-4r%2B4%29=%28r%2B2%29%2F%28r-2%29 where r%3C%3E2

If a problem is ambiguous, not clearly stated, it is on the site for a LONG LONG time. It is likely to become one of the group that eventually gets pushed out the bottom.
Use some parentheses and try again.
