You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let z = y/(y+3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So (y/(y+3))/(y/(y+3))+y is really (z/z) + y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But z/z = 1 (where z is nonzero) meaning that (z/z) + y turns into 1+y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the whole thing simplifies to 1 + y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
