Factor by grouping:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28xy%2B3x%2B2y%2B6%29%2F%28xy%2B3x%2B5y%2B15%29\"$ Group as shown below:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28xy%2B3x%29%2B%282y%2B6%29%29%2F%28%28xy%2B3x%29%2B%285y%2B15%29%29\"$ Factor as shown below:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%28y%2B3%29%2B2%28y%2B3%29%29%2F%28x%28y%2B3%29%2B5%28y%2B3%29%29\"$ Factor the (y+3)'s in both the numerator and the denominator.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28cross%28%28y%2B3%29%29%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28cross%28%28y%2B3%29%29%28x%2B5%29%29\"$ Cancel the indicated terms.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B2%29%2F%28x%2B5%29\"$ ...and there you have it! \n" ); document.write( "
