$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 a - 4 b - 12}$

Step 1

Factor $4$ out of $4 a$ .

$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 (a) - 4 b - 12}$

Step 2

Factor $4$ out of $- 4 b$ .

$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 (a) + 4 (- b) - 12}$

Step 3

Factor $4$ out of $- 12$ .

$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 (a) + 4 (- b) + 4 (- 3)}$

Step 4

Factor $4$ out of $4 (a) + 4 (- b)$ .

$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 (a - b) + 4 (- 3)}$

Step 5

Factor $4$ out of $4 (a - b) + 4 (- 3)$ .

$\frac{a^{2} - b^{2} - 3 a - 3 b}{4 (a - b - 3)}$
