x squared+5x+6 over x squared+8x/2x squared+5x+2 over 2x squared+x
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "[(x^2 + 5x + 6)/(x^2 + 8x)] / [(2x^2 + 5x + 2)/(2x^2 + x)]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Factor where you can: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[(x+3)(x+2)/(x(x+8))] / [(2x+1)(x+2))/(x(2x+1))]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Invert the denominator and multiply:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[(x+3)(x+2)/(x(x+8))] * [(x(2x+1)/ (2x+1)(x+2))]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cancel any factor that is common to a numerator and a denominator
\n" ); document.write( "such as x, (x+2) , (2x+1) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= [(x+3)/(x+8)] * [1/1]]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= (x+3)/(x+8)\r
