Question 51966: Please talk me through how to put this in simplest form 2x^2y over xy-y

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x%5E2%2Ay+%2F+%28xy+-+y%29+=+2x%5E2%2Ay+%2F+y%28x+-+1%29
cancel y's on top and bottom
2x%5E2+%2F+%28x+-+1%29
If you do this division, you get
2x+%2B+%282x+%2F+%28x+-+1%29%29
either answer is good
