Divide and simplify
rewrite it:
%28r%5E2%2B8r%29%2F%28r%5E2%2B5r-24%29
-----------
r%2F%28r%2B3%29
invert the dividing fraction, and multiply
%28r%5E2%2B8r%29%2F%28r%5E2%2B5r-24%29 * %28r%2B3%29%2Fr
Factor
r%28r%2B8%29%2F%28%28r%2B8%29%28r-3%29%29 * %28r%2B3%29%2Fr
look closely, we can cancel r and (r+8), leaving a simple single fraction
1%2F%28r-3%29 * (r+3) = %28r%2B3%29%2F%28r-3%29
