You need more parentheses.

Then it was given to you in a very poor form. @mathgirl501

anonymous · Answer

I'm guessing for the answer you'll need to find the common denominator between the two fractions, both of them have (y-1) but the first one has an extra "y" in front. Therefore, multiply the top and bottom of the 2nd one with y and combine them :)

it's a homework question but my study plan examples are not like this

Let me know if you get stuck or if you believe my answer is wrong!

anonymous · Answer

ok...I'm trying to figure it out

anonymous · Answer

ok...I need a walk through...I have no idea where to start

anonymous · Answer

Okay so we got 3y/y(y-1) right? The second is 2/(y-1), see how this one is missing the y? We want to make it y(y-1) just like the first one so we can combine and simplify both of them. You can do this by multiplying a "y" to the top and bottom of 2/(y-1). Try it and tell me what you get!

ok..I got 2y/y^2-1???@elliotc
