ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to factor

out of

The first term is already having a factor of

The constant term which is the second term is not having a factor of

so we need to use a trick of multiplying and dividing by the same factor to obtain,

We can now factor

out of the right hand side to obtain,

Let us rewrite the right most fraction using the normal division symbol.

We simplify to obtain,

This further gives us,
