Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6-x-x%5E2%29%2F%283x%5E2-10x%2B8%29\"$ Rewrite the numerator by factoring a (-1).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28x%5E2%2Bx-6%29%2F%283x%5E2-10x%2B8%29\"$ Now factor the trinomials in the numerator and in the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-cross%28%28x-2%29%29%28x%2B3%29%2F%283x-4%29cross%28%28x-2%29%29\"$ Cancel the indicated factors.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28-%28%28x%2B3%29%29%2F%28%283x-4%29%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
