\[\frac{ 2x^2-xy-3y^2 }{ 2x^2-11xy+12y^2 }\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

You can factor the numerator and the denominator.

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\text{ for example } \\ 2x^2-xy-3y^2 \\ 2x^2+2xy-3xy-3y^2 \\ 2x(x+y)-3y(x+y) \\ (x+y)(2x-3y)\] Try factoring the denominator. Hint: You can do what I did above. Just have to think what two integer numbers when multiplied gives 24 and add ups to be -11.
