Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-6%29%2F%283x%2B5%29%29-%28%285x-4%29%2F%283x%2B5%29%29\"$ The fractions are already over a common denominator, so just subtract the numerators.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x-6%29-%285x-4%29%29%2F%283x%2B5%29\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-6-5x%2B4%29%2F%283x%2B5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-4x-2%29%2F%283x%2B5%29\"$ or $\"highlight%28-%284x%2B2%29%2F%283x%2B5%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
