Question 316747: Hi all,
Hoping someone would help me to Simplify the following the following expressions:
a) 2*2^2(a+b)c^2 / 16[(a+b)c]^2
and
b) (x^2 - y^2) / (x+y) +y
Answers with full working would be great.
Thanks, -Nick.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) 2*2^2(a+b)c^2 / 16[(a+b)c]^2
8(a+b)^2 c^2 / 16(a+b)^2*c^2
=8/16
=1/2
..
..
and
b) (x^2 - y^2) / (x+y) +y
..
x^2-y^2 / x+y + y
x^2-y^2 + y(x+y) / x+y
x^2-y^2+xy+y^2 / x+y
x^2+xy / (x+y)
x(x+y) / (x+y)
=x
