DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at .
Reduce similar several occurrences of highlight_red%28+%28x-8%29+%29 to
It becomes 1%2F%28x%2B8%29%2F%28x-3%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%2A%28x-3%29.
Look at .
Reduce similar several occurrences of highlight_red%28+1%2F%28x-3%29+%29 to
It becomes 1%2F%28x%2B8%29%2A%28x%2B4%29.
Look at highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F%28x%2B8%29%2A%28x%2B4%29.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1+%29
It becomes %28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B8%29.
Result: %28x%2B4%29%2F%28x%2B8%29
