Explanation:

Hello,

I hope you mean to cancel the common factor that exists in numerator and denominator,right.

so, Let's look for the common factor,

here, the expression is,

=4(x-2)/ (x+5)(x-2)

so, here we find the common factor is (x-2)

now, we have to cancel it. And after cancelling we get,

=4/(x+5)

Note:{ we cancel the common factor if the common factors are in multiply form.}

Hope it helps
