How do simplify that equation
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2815y%5E2-30y-45%29%2F%285y%5E2%2B10y-15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Note that you can factor out 15 in the numerator and 5 in the denominator
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2815%28y%5E2-2y-3%29%29%2F%285%28y%5E2%2B2y-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "5 cancels into 15
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%28y%5E2-2y-3%29%29%2F%28%28y%5E2%2B2y-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor some more, but that won't help us; you can leave it like it is above.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%28y-3%29%28y%2B1%29%29%2F%28%28y%2B3%29%28y-1%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
