Question

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

Answer 1

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator.

$\frac{3}{y-2}$ - $\frac{1}{y+3}$

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

$\frac{3(y+3)-1(y-2)}{(y-2)(y+3)}$
$\frac{3y + 9 - y + 2}{(y-2)(y+3)}$
$\frac{2y + 11}{(y-2)(y+3)}$

The answer above will be the simplified form.
