You need to factor the first term and cancel factors and it becomes very easy.

retireed · Answer

(b^2-2b-8/b^2+b-2) - (6/b-1)

(b^2-2b-8)  =  (b-__)(b+__)

b^2+b-2)    =  (b-__)(b+__)

retireed · Answer

The final answer is (b-10)/(b-1)

It is bedtime for Bonzo.  Any questions you have will have to wait until then.
