Question

Subtract 3/y-2 - 1/y+3

Answer 1

to subtract fractions, we need a common denominator.


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

the common denominator will be (y-2)(y+3)


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

`(3y + 9 - y + 2)/((y-2)(y+3))`

`(2y + 11)/((y-2)(y+3))`

The answer above will be the simplified form.
