2x-5 x+2xy
:
Assume it's:
%285x%2Bx%5E2%29%2F%282x-5%29 * %286x-15%29%2F%28x%2B2xy%29
Factor out like terms, cancel (2x-5)
%28x%28x%2B5%29%29%2F%282x-5%29 * %283%282x-5%29%29%2F%28x%282y%2B1%29%29 = x(x+5) * 3%2F%28x%282y%2B1%29%29
Cancel x
(x+5) * 3%2F%282y%2B1%29 = %283%28x%2B5%29%29%2F%282y%2B1%29
