1.
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the denominator: Final answer:
2.
Simplify by canceling the common factors between numerator and denominator: Final answer:
3.
First, simplify the denominator: So: Final answer:
4.
Simplify the denominator: So the expression becomes: Final answer:
5.
Factor the denominator: So the expression becomes: Cancel the common factor : Final answer:
