%28x%5E2-8x%2B15%29%2F%283x%29 . %288x%29%2F%28x-3%29 =       (factor  x%5E2-8x+%2B15 = (x-3)*(x-5)  and then substitute it into the first ratio)       ----->

= %28%28x-3%29%2A%28x-5%29%29%2F%283x%29 . %288x%29%2F%28x-3%29 =       (cancel common factors in the numerator and denominator)       ----->

= %288%2F3%29%2A%28x-5%29.
