These are confusing but don't panic. These are not impossible. Here is your problem:

%2842b%5E3+%2B+23b%5E2+%2B32b+%2B+41%29%2F%286b+%2B+5%29

My problem in showing this to you is going to be how to make this show up in typing! Arrgghh. I'm going to use this as my dividing sign: ]

I will also draw a line above that symbol, so I can TRY to make this division look normal! It will look like this:

.________________________
]


So here goes:
......._7b%5E2_-2b_%2B7______________________
6b+%2B+5]%2842b%5E3+%2B+23b%5E2+%2B32b+%2B+41%29
.........-42b%5E3+-35b%5E2
________________________
...................-12b%5E2+%2B+32b
...................%2B12b%5E2+%2B+10b
_____________________________________
..............................42b+%2B+41
.............................-42b+-35
____________________________________________
.....................................%2B6


Therefore... our answer is: 7b%5E2+-+2b+%2B+7+%2B+%286%29%2F%286b+%2B+5%29

I'm sure this looks weird to you. If I could scan a copy of my work to you, it would be easier for you to see! I'm sorry it doesn't show up well here but maybe you can see thru how awful this looks and it will make sense to you.

Good luck and I hope this was helpful. :-)
