You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g^2+5g+4/5g+5/g^2+8g+16/g^2+g-12

1%2F%285%28x-3%29%28x%2B4%29%5E2%29
you will never get another of these wrong if you remember that the top is on top and the rest are on the bottom times each other.
simple example: a/b/c/d=a/(b*c*d)
think of it this way: a*(1/b)*(1/c)*(1/d)=a/(bcd)
the next one is a piece of cake:
x^2+2x+1/x^2+13x+12
