here is the original problem:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283x%2B6%29+%2F++%284x%2B12%29\"$ / $\"%28x%5E2-4%29+%2F+%28x%2B3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - factor everything you can and then flip the second fraction and change to multiplication. We get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28x%2B2%29+%2F+4%28x%2B3%29\"$ * $\"%28x%2B3%29+%2F+%28x%2B2%29%28x-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - cancel what you can. We get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F4+%2A+1%2F%28x-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which is:
\n" ); document.write( "3 / (4x-8) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
