Begin by flipping the %28a+-+2%29%2F%28a+-+8%29 and make it %28a+-+8%29%2F%28a+-+2%29. Then change the division to multiplication. Next, factor the 6a%5E2-8a-8 and the 2a%5E2-9a-56. Cancel out the common factors, either vertically and/or diagonally, then multiply whatever's left over straight across.
