-6x +3x over 5 devided by 4x-8 over 25
GIVEN: highlight%28%28%28-6x%2B3x%29%2F5%29%2F%28%284x-8%29%2F25%29%29
%28%28-6x%2B3%29%2F5%29%2A%2825%2F%284x-8%29%29
%28%28-6x%2B3%29%2Fcross%285%29%29%2A%28cross%285%29%285%29%2F%284x-8%29%29

highlight%285%28-6x%2B3%29%2F%284x-8%29%29 about as simple as you can make it but you can rewrite to bring the negative term in numerator away from the left:
