You can put this solution on YOUR website! Multiply or divide as indicated.
x^2-5x+6/x^2+x-6 x^2-4/x^2-x-6
----------------------------------
Factor where you can to get:
[(x-3)(x-2)/(x+3)(x-2) ]* [(x-2)(x+2)/(x-3)(x+2)]
Cancel factors common to numerator and denominator:(x-3),(x-2),(x-2),(x+2)
= [1/(x+3)] * [(x-2)/1]
= (x-2)/(x+3)
