(4x-3)/(3x+34x33x+3

Explanation:

Re-write in proper fraction view, it's easier to see what you're doing.
(8x^2-10x+3)/(6x^2+3x-3)8x210x+36x2+3x3

Factorise both sides:
((2x-1)(4x-3))/(3(2x-1)(x+1)(2x1)(4x3)3(2x1)(x+1)

Cancel anything that's the same top and bottom:
(cancel(2x-1)(4x-3))/(3cancel(2x-1)(x+1)
