Question 467479: I need to simplify 2 rational expressions. Please help with showing steps so I can learn how to do for my college algebra class. Thanks!!!
3y/(y^2-7y+10)-2y/(y^2-8y+15)
the 2nd one is a complex rational expression:
(1-x)/(x)+(x)/(1+x) over (fraction) (1+x)/(x)+(x)/(1-x) <----simplify
(If I need to rewrite so this one makes sense let me know)

LCD = (y-5)(y-2)(y-3)
the 2nd one is a complex rational expression:
(1-x)/(x)+(x)/(1+x) over (fraction) (1+x)/(x)+(x)/(1-x) <----simplify

first problem
3y/(y^2-7y+10)-2y/(y^2-8y+15)
3y/(y-2)(y-5)-2y/(y-5)(y-3)
LCD:(y-2)(y-3)(y-5)
3y(y-3)-2y(y-2)/(y-2)(y-3)(y-5)
3y^2-3y-2y^2+4y/(y-2)(y-3)(y-5)
y^2+y/(y-2)(y-3)(y-5)
y(y+1)/(y-2)(y-3)(y-5) (This does not appear to be very simplified, but at least it is in factored form.)
..
2nd problem
[(1-x)/x+x/(1+x)]/[(1+x)/x+x/(1-x)]
working numerator and denominator separately
numerator:
(1-x)/x+x/(1+x)
LCD:x(1+x)
(1-x)(1+x)+x^2/x(1+x)
1-x^2+x^2/x(1+x)
1/x(1+x)
..
denominator:
(1+x)/x+x/(1-x)
LCD: x(1-x)
(1+x)(1-x)+x^2/x(1-x)
1-x^2+x^2/x(1-x)
1/x(1-x)
..
put numerator and denominator back together
1/x(1+x)/1/x(1-x)
1/x(1+x)/1/x(1-x)
(1-x)/(1+x) (ans)
