$\frac{4 x + 6}{(x + 6) (x - 5)} = \frac{4 x + 6}{x^{2} + x - 30}$ $(4x+6)/((x+6)(x-5)) = (4x+6)/(x^2+x-30)$

There are no common factors among the numerator and denominator
so (unfortunately) the most we can do is multiply the the factors of the denominator.

How do you simplify (4x+6)/((x+6)(x-5))4x+6(x+6)(x−5)(4x+6)/((x+6)(x-5))?
