Question

add and write in simplest form. 4y over y+2 + 8 over y+2

Answer 1

when the denoms are the same all u have to do is operate with the numerator
which means add them

Answer 2

y^2 - 4y + 4 - 10 = 4

(y - 2)^2 = 14

y - 2 = +/- sqrt(14)

y = 2 +/- sqrt(14)

Answer 3

so add 4y and 8?

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 4y+8 }{ y+2}?\]

Answer 5

yes. that looks correct.

Answer 6

Okay thanks :)

Answer 7

you can simplify it further though.

Answer 8

factorize 4y+8 (Find its GCF)

Answer 9

\[\frac{ 2y+4 }{ y }?\]

Answer 10

no.

Answer 11

I am confused

Answer 12

\[4(y+2) \over y+2\]

Answer 13

ohhh so then you cancel y+2 and you end up with 4?

Answer 14

yes. I believe so.

Answer 15

Okay. thank you.

Answer 16

you're welcome.
