write in the simplest form
y-2/y+3-y/2y+6=
:
Assume you mean:
%28%28y-2%29%29%2F%28%28y%2B3%29%29 - y%2F%28%282y%2B6%29%29 = %28%28y-2%29%29%2F%28%28y%2B3%29%29 - y%2F%282%28y%2B3%29%29
:
The common denominator would be: 2(y+3)
%282%28y-2%29+-+y%29%2F%282%28y%2B3%29%29 = %282y+-+4+-+y%29%2F%282%28y%2B3%29%29 = %28y+-+4%29%2F%282%28y%2B3%29%29 or %28y+-+4%29%2F%282y%2B6%29%29
