OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Do you know what you will get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Can you factorise y^2 + y - 6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think he's about to show his work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y-1)/((y+3)(y-2)/(y-6)/(y+3)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman: you simplify

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Now see I can write the given fraction as: \[\large{\cfrac{\cfrac{y-1}{y^2 + y - 6}}{\cfrac{y-6}{y+3}}}\] \[\large{\cfrac{\cfrac{y-1}{(y+3)(y-2)}}{\cfrac{y-6}{y+3}}}\]
