Begin by flipping the %28x%5E2+-+25%29%2F%282x+-+10%29 and make it %282x+-+10%29%2F%28x%5E2+-+25%29. Then change the division to multiplication. Next, factor the x%5E2 - 2x - 15, the 2x - 10 and the x%5E2 - 25. Cancel out the common factors, either vertically and/or diagonally, then multiply whatever's left over straight across.
