SOLUTION: For (4y^2-2y)/(5y^2-5y) when I simplify I end up with 2y(2y-1)/5y(y-1) but the calculator says 2(2y-1)/5(y-1) and it won't show steps am I right or is the calculator?

%282y%282y-1%29%29%2F%285y%28y-1%29%29

Just cancel the y's

%282cross%28y%29%282y-1%29%29%2F%285cross%28y%29%28y-1%29%29

%282%282y-1%29%29%2F%285%28y-1%29%29
