3y/ =y(5y-1) + 2/5y-1, I did practice problems for class but nothing like this and I am confused as to where to start. Please help.

Their seems to be a posting error.  What is under the 3y on the left side of the equal side?

Oops sorry, my kid was climbing on me while typing on my laptop. I did not notice the error. 3y/y(5y-1) + 2/5y-1

In order to add the two fractions they must have the same denominator.  Multiply the second fraction by y over y .
