Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to reduce each number by 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok. First of all, we need to follow the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. We don't have any parentheses, exponents, or division to resolve, so you can skip those. So now you have: Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. We have multiplication in each term, but each term is fully simplified, so we have Addition and Subtraction left.
With that out of the way, let's go ahead and rearrange this equation so it is easier to solve. (<em>Note: we can only rearrange terms that are positive because subtraction is not commutative. But we can turn negative terms into "positive" terms by the method shown below.</em>)
4a - 7b + 2ab - a + b
4a + (-7b) + 2ab + (-a) + b (<em>Now the terms are all positive, so we can rearrange them, but they still have the same value.</em>)
4a + (-a) + 2ab + (-7b) + b
3a + 2ab + 7b
And there we go. Our answer is fully simplified. If you can understand this, you'll be able to simplify without isolating and rearranging the terms each time.
Hopefully this was helpful and not confusing.

<em>Comment on rational expressions</em>
When writing ratios in plain text, it is imperative to put parentheses around numerators and denominators. (If the numerator is a product only, then parentheses are optional.)
Your expression might be properly written as ...
3y/(y^2 +7y +10) +2/(y+2)
As you have written it, it simplifies to ...
3(y/y)2 +7y +10 +2/y +2 = 3·2 +7y +2/y +12
= 7y +2/y +18
Please note, too, the exponentiation symbol (^).
R = 3
6x3=18
18x3=54
54x3=162 ...
