1%2F%28x%2B5y%29-5%2F%28x-5y%29%2B3%2F%28x%5E2-25y%5E2%29
:
We factor the 3rd denominator and that will be the common denominator, we have:
1%2F%28x%2B5y%29-5%2F%28x-5y%29%2B3%2F%28%28x-5y%29%28x%2B5y%29%29
:
%281%28x-5y%29+-+5%28x%2B5y%29+%2B+3%29%2F%28x-5y%29%28x%2B5y%29%29
:
%28x+-+5y+-+5x+-+25y+%2B+3%29%2F%28%28x-5y%29%28x%2B5y%29%29
:
%28-4x+-+30y+%2B+3%29%2F%28x-5y%29%28x%2B5y%29%29; That's about all you can do with it
