You can put this solution on YOUR website! write rational in lowest terms?
zw+4z-3w-12/zw+4z+5w+20
-----------------
Factor numerator and denominator to get:
-------------
[z(w+4)-3(w+4)] / [z(w+4)+5(w+4)]
-----
= [(w+4)(z-3)] / [(w+4)/(z+5)]
---
Cancel the common factor , (x+4) to get:
=(z-3)/(z+5)
