$\"%28x%5E2%2B7x-18%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B4x-45%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, we need to factor the numerator and denominator:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28x%2B9%29%28x-2%29%29%2F%28x%2B9%29%28x-5%29%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, we can cancel equal numerators and denominators, so we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-2%29%2F%28x-5%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Done! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
