Answer:
Factorize, then divide the common factors.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational expression is one that involves the division of two polynomials. The two polynomial having the same variable in each expression.
To simplify a rational expression, the first thing to do is to factorize each expression. This would ensure that there exist a common factor between the numerator and denominator.
Then you can divide by the common factor.
The remaining expressions in the quotient would have been reduced to their simplest form.
