First find an LCD which is?

3. minnie123 Group Title

6y @gaara438125

just like performing this operation on numbers, take the lcm of denominator and work this out. BTW, in this particular case you can take the common denominator y outside of the equation and reduce the rest, to make it look more artithmetic rather than algebraic

yeah, so make the fractions have the LCD it now looks like: $\frac{ 15 }{ 6y } + \frac{ 1 }{ 6y } - \frac{ 8 }{ 6y } =$ i can't see what it's equal too lol

6. piscez.in Group Title

when you have the same denominator, you can directly perform the numerator functions without further modification

7. minnie123 Group Title

so is the answer 8/6y ?

8. gaara438125 Group Title

yes, then simplify that to make it look like?

9. minnie123 Group Title

4/3y ?

10. gaara438125 Group Title

yeah, and is it equal to anything?
