2/5 - (y/y-2)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The least common denominator is 5(y-2)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite each fraction with the lcd as its denominator:
\n" ); document.write( "2(y-2)/lcd - 5y/lcd
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Both fractions now have the same denominator so combine the numerators to get:
\n" ); document.write( "[2y-4-5y]/lcd
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the numerator:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[-(3y+2)]/[5(y-2)]
\n" ); document.write( "================
