Simplify
Solution:
Consider the given equation above
The common factor of the numerator is (x - 1)². 1 and x² at the denominator can be interchanged as follows
The denominator is a perfect trinomial square. Therefore, after cross out their Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and simplify into lowest term, the final answer is

Simplify
Solution:
Consider the give equation above
After the inspection of the terms, the numerator can be factored by the difference of two cubes and the denominator can be factored by the difference of two squares as follows
Change the sign of the term at the denominator which is (2 - y) into - (y - 2) as follows
The
greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator is (y - 2). Cross out their GCF and simplify into lowest term. Therefore, the
final answer is

Simplify
Solution:
Consider the given equation above
The first thing that we have to do is to inspect all the terms at the numerator and denominator. Let's group the first two terms at the numerator and then the next two terms at the numerator also, as follows
The first group can be factored by the difference of two squares while the other group can be factored by removal of their common factor, as follows
The common factor at the numerator is (x + y). Remove their common factor, we have
The
greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator is (x - y + 2). Cross out their GCF and simplify into lowest term. Therefore, the
final answer is
