① | Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{2m-3}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4m^2-14m+12}{12m^2-27} & =\frac{ \left( 2m-4 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 2m-3 \right) }}{ \left( 6m+9 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 2m-3 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{2m-4}{6m+9} \end{aligned} $$ |
