+%2835%2F25%29+++%2A++%2840%2F14%29+
Factoring the term on the left:
+%28%285%2A7%29%2F%285%2A5%29%29+++%2A++%2840%2F14%29+
You can cancel like-numbers if found on both numerator and denominator:
+%287%2F5%29+++%2A++%2840%2F14%29+
Factoring the term on the right:
+%287%2F5%29+++%2A++%28%282%2A20%29%2F%282%2A7%29%29+
You can cancel like-numbers if found on both numerator and denominator:
+%287%2F5%29+++%2A++%2820%2F7%29+
Combining:
+%287%2A20%29%2F%285%2A7%29
You can cancel like-numbers if found on both numerator and denominator:
+20%2F5
Factoring numerator:
+%284%2A5%29%2F5
You can cancel like-numbers if found on both numerator and denominator:
+4+
