You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%28%28x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2%29%2F%28x%2By%29%29%2A%28%28x%5E2-y%5E2%29%2F%28x-y%29%29 First factor everything you can.
%28%28x%2By%29%28x%2By%29%2F%28x%2By%29%29%2A%28%28x%2By%29%28x-y%29%2F%28x-y%29%29 Cancel all numerators and denominators that match each other.

%28x%2By%29%2A%28x%2By%29 some teachers like this: %28x%2By%29%5E2
Others want you to FOIL it.
x%28x%29%2Bx%28y%29%2By%28x%29%2By%28y%29
x%5E2%2Bxy%2Bxy%2By%5E2
x%5E2%2B2xy%2By%5E2
Happy Calculating!!!
