show me how to simplify this expression
2y 5
-------- + -----
y(2y - 1) 2y - 1
-------
least common denominator: y(2y-1)
-----
Rewrite both fractions with the lcm as the denominator:
-----
[2y/lcm] + [5y/lcm]
----
Combine the numerators over the lcm:
= 7y/(y(2y-1))
----
Cancel the common "y" factor:
----
= 7/(2y-1)
