here is the problem
%28%2811x-55%29%2F21%29+%2F+%28%28x-5%29%2F6x%29
step 1 - factor all parts to get
%2811%28x-5%29%2F21%29+%2F+%28%28x-5%29%2F6x%29
step 2 - multiply by the reciprocal to get
%2811%28x-5%29%2F21%29+%2A+%286x%2F%28x-5%29%29
step 3 - cancel (x-5) and reduce 6 and 21 by 3 to get
%2811%2F7%29+%2A+%282x%2F1%29
step 4- multiply the numerator and denominator to get
22x%2F7
