Question 73280
Simplify {{{(2/x)/(1-(1/y))}}}

First, we will deal with the denmominator, {{{1-(1/y)}}}

Lets multiply each term by {{{y/y}}}

{{{1(y/y)-(1/y)(y/y)}}}  simplifying, we get
{{{(y-1)/y}}}
Now we will put the numerator and denominator back together and we have:

{{{(2/x)/((y-1)/y)}}}  Next we will multiply numerator and denominator by {{{y/(y-1)}}}

{{{((2/x)(y/(y-1))/((y-1)/y)(y/(y-1)))}}}  Simplifying we get:

{{{(2y/x(y-1))/1}}} and this equals:

{{{2y/(x(y-1))}}}


Hope this helps------ptaylor
