\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%283x%2B5%29%28x%2B1%29%29%2F%282x%2B2%29\"$ Factor $\"6x%5E2%2B16x%2B10\"$ to get $\"2%283x%2B5%29%28x%2B1%29\"$ .\r

Highlight the common terms. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

Cancel out the common terms. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B5\"$ Simplify. \r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, $\"%286x%5E2%2B16x%2B10%29%2F%282x%2B2%29=3x%2B5\"$ \r
