Divide:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2-9%29%2F%284x%2B12%29\"$ divided by $\"%28x-3%29%2F6\"$ Do the first fraction by factoring the numerator and the denominator:
\n" ); document.write( "

Cancel the indicated factors to leave you with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-3%29%2F4\"$ Now divide by the second fraction, but remember to change to multiplication and invert the second fraction.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28cross%28%28x-3%29%29%2F4%29%2A%286%2Fcross%28%28x-3%29%29%29\"$ Cancel the indicated factors to leave you with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2F4\"$ Finally, reduce this fraction to its lowest terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
