Question 86278
Begin by flipping the {{{(a - 2)/(a - 8)}}} and make it {{{(a - 8)/(a - 2)}}}. Then change the division to multiplication. Next, factor the 6{{{a^2}}}-8a-8 and the 2{{{a^2}}}-9a-56. Cancel out the common factors, either vertically and/or diagonally, then multiply whatever's left over straight across.
