solve

OpenStudy (stefrheart):

yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6/y+5)-(9/y-5)=(15/y^2-25) a.-30 b.90 c.64 d.30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep getting 45.923

OpenStudy (stefrheart):

let me try it out first

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Is this the problem? \(\dfrac{6}{y+5}- \dfrac{9}{y-5}= \dfrac{15}{y^2-25}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Start by factoring the last denominator. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4*6*sqrt(6)*a

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What? I don't see an "a" anywhere in the problem. Where did you get "a" from? Just factor \(y^2 - 25\) It's the difference ff two squares.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Use this to factor the third denominator. \(a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sorry, gtg. It's late.
