Question

simplify the expression. Write your answer in lowest terms and leave it in factored form.

5y/y(y-1) + 2/y-1

Answer 1

5y/[y(y-1)] + 2/y-1

in the first part you have y/y which is just 1

so now you have

5/[(y-1)] + 2/(y-1)

where both the fractions have a common denominator of y-1

so now you can add the numerators.

(5+2)/(y-1) = 7/(y-1)
