Answer 1

First find an LCD which is?

Answer 2

6y @gaara438125

Answer 3

just like performing this operation on numbers, take the lcm of denominator and work this out. BTW, in this particular case you can take the common denominator y outside of the equation and reduce the rest, to make it look more artithmetic rather than algebraic

Answer 4

yeah, so make the fractions have the LCD it now looks like:
\[\frac{ 15 }{ 6y } + \frac{ 1 }{ 6y } - \frac{ 8 }{ 6y } = \] i can't see what it's equal too lol

Answer 5

when you have the same denominator, you can directly perform the numerator functions without further modification

Answer 6

so is the answer 8/6y ?

Answer 7

yes, then simplify that to make it look like?

Answer 8

yeah, and is it equal to anything?
