2y/y(3y-1)+5/3y-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mistymash is this \[\frac{ 2y }{y( 3y-1) } +\frac{ 5 }{ 3y-1 }\] ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the first term \[\frac{ 3y }{ y(3y-1) }\] can u write above in any other form or cancel any term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3y cancels out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would be left with y-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no y would cancel out as it is y * (3y-1) in the denominator is this ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am way confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok dont do in this way lets do in the more simpler way in general, \[\frac{ 1 }{ a } + \frac{ 1 }{ b } = \frac{ b+a }{ ab }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/3y-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have been given \[\frac{ 2y }{ y(3y-1) } + \frac{ 5 }{ 3y-1 } = \frac{ 2y + 5y }{ y(3y-1) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it will be \[\frac{ 7 }{ 3y-1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for all your help you are awsome!!!
