How to simplify this?
I feel like the answer is ridiculously easy and I'm just missing it
-2X^2+2 / -4x^2-4x
Could someone simplify this and give me a step by step of how you did it? I definitely learned this, but I forgot -_-"

(-2x^2 + 2) / (-4x^2 - 4x) =>
-2 * (x^2 - 1) / (-4 * x * (x + 1)) =>
-2 * (x - 1) * (x + 1) / (-4x * (x + 1)) =>
(x - 1) / (2x)
