Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%286-y%29%2F%28y%5E2-2y-24%29\"$ Factor the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%286-y%29%2F%28y%2B4%29%28y-6%29\"$ Rewrite the numerator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-cross%28%28y-6%29%29%29%2F%28y%2B4%29cross%28%28y-6%29%29\"$ Cancel the indicated factors.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F%28y%2B4%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
