simplify (-(y+2))/((y^2-4))

simplify

\frac{- ( y + 2 )}{( y ^{2} - 4 )}

- \frac{1}{y - 2}

Solution steps

\frac{- ( y + 2 )}{y ^{2} - 4}

Factor

y^{2} - 4 : (y + 2) (y - 2)

= \frac{- ( y + 2 )}{( y + 2 ) ( y - 2 )}

Cancel the common factor:

y + 2

= \frac{- 1}{y - 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{y - 2}

- 1 - x + 2 a (1 - x)

(- 12)^{0}

\frac{14}{70}

\frac{24}{15} - (- \frac{11}{15})

108 x - 12 x
