    Not really. You can divide it out if you like. Are you sure it isn't \frac{2t+1}{6t+3} ?

    Well you can factorise the denominator but you can't do much after that.

    The q is
    (4t^2 -1)/(2t^2 +11t+5) divided by (6t-3)/(t^2 +5t)
    ----------

    You turned 2t-1 into 2t+1

    and lost a t in the numerator
