Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "5p+10/2p^2-2p * p^2-4p+3/p^2-p-6
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Factor where you can:
\n" ); document.write( "[5(p+2)]/[2p(p-1)] * [(p-3)(p-1)/(p-3)(p+2)]
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel factors common to a numerator and a denominator,
\n" ); document.write( "such as (p+2),(p-1),(p-3), you get:
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "= [5/2p] \r
