Algebra.Com's Answer #46189 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4y/(y+5)(y+1)+2y/(y+1)(y-1) multiply the second fraction by (y+5) & multiply ther first fraction by (y-1) thus you now have a common denominator & can now add the numerators. \n" ); document.write( "[(2y)(y+5)+4y(y-1)]/(y+5)(y+1)(y-1) \n" ); document.write( "(2y^2+5y+4y^2-4y)/(y-5)(y+1)(y-1) \n" ); document.write( "6y^2+y)/(y-5)(y+1)(y-1) factor out the y fron the numerator. \n" ); document.write( "y(6y+1)/(y+5)(y+1)(y-1) \n" ); document.write( "######################################################### \n" ); document.write( "MERRY CHRISTMAS \n" ); document.write( " |
