%283x%5E2y-12xy%29%2F%283xy%29, fundamental meaning.

%283x%5E2y%29%2F%283xy%29-%2812xy%29%2F%283xy%29, fraction knowledge or property.

highlight%28x-4%29, after simplification or reducing the summed rational expressions (or the difference expression).

This is not an EQUATION since there is no EQUALS sign, but an expression that can be SIMPLIFIED.

%283x%5E2y+-+12xy%29%2F%283xy%29______%283xy%28x+-+4%29%29%2F%283xy%29______%28cross%283xy%29%28x+-+4%29%29%2F%28cross%283xy%29%29________highlight_green%28x+-+4%29

          

You can do the check!!
