Answer 1

@sunnystrong

Answer 2

The equation is: y^2-y-12/y^2+8y+15

Answer 3

So we have:
\[\frac{ y^2-y-12 }{ y^2+8y+15 }\]

Basically... we need to factor both quadratics

\[\frac{ (y-4)(y+3) }{ (y+3)(y+5) }\]
Notice that the term (y+3) cancels... so we have:
\[\frac{ y-4}{ y+5 }\]

Answer 4

Oh okay
