Hi Panama... If I remind you that (x/x) = 1, does that help? See, if you don't show any work, I don't know where you're stuck. Use my suggestion here as the first step, go from there, and show all your work. But this is how you start.

In your problem, in the numerator - is x² included under "?" sign along with 8? Or is it outside the "?" sign? Similar question for the denominator.

Please show us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we know where to begin to help you.
