Simplify:
%28%28x%29%2F%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29%29-%282%2F%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29%29 Since there is a common denominator, you can subtract the numerators:
%28%28x-2%29%29%2F%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29 Now factor the denominator.
%28cross%28%28x-2%29%29%29%2F%28cross%28%28x-2%29%29%28x-1%29%29 Cancel the indicated common factors.
