y%5E2+%2F+%28+y+%2B+3%29++-+9+%2F+%28+y+%2B+3%29+ Start with the given expression


%28y%5E2-9%29+%2F%28+y+%2B+3%29+ Combine the fractions


%28+y+%2B+3%29%28+y+-+3%29+%2F%28+y+%2B+3%29 Factor y%5E2-9



cross%28+y+%2B+3%29%28+y+-+3%29+%2Fcross%28+y+%2B+3%29 Cancel like terms



y+-+3 Simplify


So y%5E2+%2F+%28+y+%2B+3%29++-+9+%2F+%28+y+%2B+3%29=y-3+
