Question 103925
{{{(y^2-4y-12)/(y^2+3y+12)}}} Start with the given expression



{{{(y-6)(y+2)/(y^2+3y+12)}}} Factor the numerator



So this is about all you can do to simplify this problem (which isn't much) since the denominator cannot be factored. I have a feeling that the denominator was supposed to be factorable, so double-check your problem.
