%28r%5E2-5r%2B6%29%2F%28r%5E2-4%29
%28%28r-3%29%2A%28r-2%29%29%2F%28%28r%2B2%29%2A%28r-2%29%29
(r-2) cancels off
%28r-3%29%2F%28r%2B2%29

-----------------------
[r^2 - 5r + 6]/[r^2-4]
---
Factor where you can:
---
[(r-3)(r-2)]/[(r-2)(r+2)]
---
Cancel the common r-2 factor to get:
---
= (r-3)/(r+2)
