You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let me write this the way I think you meant it...
%285%2B%281%2Fy%29%29+%2F+%2825-%281%2Fy%5E2%29%29
You can factor the denominator into
(5 + 1/y)(5 - 1/y)
so that the numerator cancels, leaving
+1+%2F+%285+-+1%2Fy%29
Multiply top and bottom by y and get
+y+%2F%285y-1%29+
