You have a complex fraction which by definition expands to %28%28x%5E2%2B2x-15%29%2F4x%5E2%29%28%282x-10%29%2F%28x%5E2-25%29%29. Factoring yields %28%28x-3%29%28x%2B5%29%2F4x%5E2%29%2A%282%28x-5%29%2F%28x%2B5%29%28x-5%29%29. Simplifying gives us 2%28x-3%29%2F4x%5E2 which reduces to %28x-3%29%2F2x%5E2.
