In the first place, you aren't really 'solving' anything; you are merely simplifying a complex expression. Simplification steps as follows:

Step 1: Factor the numerator and denominator of the dividend fraction.

Step 2: Factor the denominator of the divisor fraction. Hint: Difference of two squares.

Step 3: Invert the divisor fraction and multiply.

Step 4: Eliminate factors common to both numerator and denominator.

Step 5: Multiply the resulting binomials in the numerator using FOIL.
