First find the common denominator and multiply the numerators and denominators of all the fractions by it. can u pls tell me what u get when u do so? @RH
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would 4x^2-y^2 be a common denominator?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
yes.:)
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
well look at the common denominator just factor the denominator of the middle fraction and you get
\[\frac{2x}{2x -y}\times \frac{2x +y}{2x + y} - \frac{4x^2 +y^2}{(2x -y)(2x + y)}\frac{y}{2x + y}\times \frac{2x -y}{2x -y}\]
just simplify b distributing and collecting like terms.

oops missing a + between the middle fraction and the last fraction./
OpenStudy (anonymous):
between where? 4x^2+y^2/(2x-y)(2x+y) and y/2x+y?
