Divide:
%28x%5E2-2x%29%2F4x by %286x-12%29%2F8
To divide fractions, you "copy, flip, flip"
%28%28x%5E2-2x%29%2F4x%29%2A%288%2F%286x-12%29%29 Factor the binomials where possible.
%28x%28x-2%29%2F4x%29%2A%288%2F6%28x-2%29%29 Cancel where possible.
%28x%28cross%28x-2%29%29%2F4x%29%2A%288%2F6%28cross%28x-2%29%29%29
%28x%2F4x%29%2A%288%2F6%29 Cancel the x's.
%281%2F4%29%2A%288%2F6%29 Evaluate.
