I think you want to simplify the following:
%2832c%5E2-2%29+%2F+%284c%2B1%29
factor the numerator:
2(16C^2-1)
notice that is can be factored as difference of two squares. So we get
2%284c%2B1%29%284c-1%29
putting with the denominator, we get
2%284c%2B1%29%284c-1%29 / 4c%2B1
reducing the 4c+1, we get
2(4c-1)
8c-2
