Question 915528
Let z = y/(y+3)


So (y/(y+3))/(y/(y+3))+y is really (z/z) + y


But z/z = 1 (where z is nonzero) meaning that (z/z) + y turns into 1+y


-------------------------------------------------------


So the whole thing simplifies to <font color="red">1 + y</font>


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
