Sorry the line is supposed to be over all the numbers on the top.

\sf \longrightarrow \frac{4x + 20}{ {x}^(2) + 2x - 15} \\


\sf \longrightarrow \frac{4x + 20}{ {x}^(2) + 5x - 3x - 15} \\


\sf \longrightarrow (4x + 20)/( x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5)) \\


\sf \longrightarrow (4x + 20)/( (x- 3)(x + 5)) \\


\sf \longrightarrow (4(x + 5))/( (x- 3)(x + 5)) \\


\sf \longrightarrow \frac{4 \cancel{(x + 5)}}{ (x- 3) \cancel{(x + 5)}} \\


\sf \longrightarrow (4)/( (x- 3) ) \\
