%284%2B%283%2Fy%29%29%2F%281-%282%2Fy%29%29



From this expression, we can rewrite it as this:



      3                2 

4  + ___   ÷   1  -   ___

      

      y                y





Simplify



  4y + 3      y - 2

 _______  ÷  ______

 

   y           y 



Remember: 

     %28a%2Fb%29÷%28c%2Fd%29 = %28%28a%2Fb%29%2A%28d%2Fc%29%29 



  4y + 3        y 

 _______  *  ______

 

   y         y - 2



      y(4y + 3)

     __________



      y (y - 2)



Divide common factor 



      cross%28y%29(4y + 3)

     __________



      cross%28y%29 (y - 2)





Answer is :



       4y + 3

      _______



       y - 2

Simply the complex fraction if possible
4+(3/y)/1-(2/y) = after doing the L.C.M ofr y in the numerator and the denominator we get,

4+(3/y)/1-(2/y) = (4y+3)/(y-2)

[4+(3/y)]/[1-(2/y)]
= [(4y+3)/y] / [(y-2)/y]
= (4y+3)/(y-2)
