Not like this: 2x^2+5x-3/2x^2+x-1

Show the expression this way: (2x^2+5x-3)/(2x^2+x-1)

That will appear given the rendering tags as %282x%5E2%2B5x-3%29%2F%282x%5E2%2Bx-1%29.

You understand factoring? That is what to do with the numerator and denominator. Look for any factor occuring in both numerator and denominator. Basic Fraction Skills.
