\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x^2+3x+2)/(x^2-4x-5)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x^2+2x+x+2)/(x^2-5x+x-5)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow {(x+2)(x+1)}{(x-5)(x+1)}


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x+2)/(x-5)

And


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x^2+7x+12)/(x^2-3x-28)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x^2+4x+3x+12)/(x^2-7x+4x-28)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow ((x+4)(x+3))/((x-7)(x+4))


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x+3)/(x-7)
