Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284r%5E2-25s%5E2%29%2F%282r%5E2%2B3rs-20s%5E2%29\"$ Factor the numerator and the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%282r-5s%29%282r%2B5s%29%29%2F%28%282r-5s%29%28r%2B4s%29%29\"$ Cancel the common factors $\"%282r-5s%29\"$ and you are left with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282r%2B5s%29%2F%28r%2B4s%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
