+%28%28x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2%29%2F%28x%2By%29%29%28%28x%5E2-y%5E2%29%2F%28x-y%29%29+
First, factor the numerator of the second fraction
+%28%28x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2%29%2F%28x%2By%29%29%28%28%28x%2By%29%28x-y%29%29%2F%28x-y%29%29+
Reduce the second fraction
+%28%28x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2%29%2F%28x%2By%29%29%28%28x%2By%29%2F1%29+
Cross reduce
+%28%28x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2%29%2F1%29%281%2F1%29+
Multiply the fractions
+x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2+
