%284x%5E4-10x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%29%2F%282x%29

Make three separate fractions, using each term of the
numerator separately as the numerator of a fraction.
Use the denominator 2x as the denominator of
each fraction:

%284x%5E4%29%2F%282x%29-%2810x%5E3%29%2F%282x%29%2B%288x%5E2%29%2F%282x%29

Reduce each fraction:

2x%5E3-5x%5E2%2B4x
