$\"%285a-12%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29+-+%283a-2%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%285a-12%29-%283a-2%29%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282a-10%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This can be simplified:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%28a-5%29%29%2F%28%28a-3%29%28a-5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and the (a-5)'s cancel:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F%28a-3%29%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Look at the graph $\"y=%285a-12%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29+-+%283a-2%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

(\"a\" is on the x-axis)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Now look at the graph $\"y=2%2F%28a-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-1%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2%2F%28x-3%29%29+\"$ (\"a\" is on the x-axis)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since they are both exactly the same graph, we can confirm that $\"%285a-12%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29+-+%283a-2%29%2F%28a%5E2-8a%2B15%29=2%2F%28a-3%29\"$ \r
