Answer:

2(y^2 +4y+2)

----------------------------

(y+1)^2(y+2)

Explanation:

2y 4

--------------- + -------------

y^2 +2y+1 y^2 +3y+2

Factor the denominators

2y 4

--------------- + -------------

(y+1)(y+1) (y+2)(y+1)

Get a common denominator

2y (y+2) 4(y+1)

--------------- + -------------

(y+1)^2(y+2) (y+2)(y+1)^2

Distribute in the numerator

2y^2+4y 4y+4

--------------- + -------------

(y+1)^2(y+2) (y+2)(y+1)^2

Combine like terms

2y^2 +8y+4

----------------------------

(y+1)^2(y+2)

Factor out a 2

2(y^2 +4y+2)

----------------------------

(y+1)^2(y+2)
