Simplify:
%28-6x%5E2%2B25x-14%29%2F%28-10x%5E2%2B39x-14%29 First, factor out -1 from the top and the bottom.
%28-1%29%286x%5E2-25x%2B14%29%2F-1%2810x%5E2-39x%2B14%29 Next, cancel the -1's
%286x%5E2-25x%2B14%29%2F%2810x%5E2-39x%2B14%29 Now factor the top and the bottom.
%28%282x-7%29%283x-2%29%29%2F%282x-7%29%285x-2%29 Cancel the %282x-7%29's
%283x-2%29%2F%285x-2%29 This is it!
