These are not steps of arithmetic, but are just adjustments in the process of matching the specifications for the function: 
y=k%28x%29%2Fx           degree of numerator and denominator be same

y=2x%2Fx             want value of 2 to be approached at extreme x values

y=2x%2F%28x-3%29         must be undefined at x=3

highlight%28y=2%28x%2B5%29%2F%28x-3%29%29     x-intercept of -5
