User: factor the polynomial y^2-5y

Weegy: Reduce the expression -(5y)/(y^(2)) by removing a factor of y from the numerator and denominator. (y^(2)-(5)/(y)+7y+12)/(y^(3)-14y^(2)+(45y)/(y^(2))+9y+18) To add fractions, the denominators must be equal. [ The denominators can be made equal by finding the least common denominator (LCD). In this case, the LCD is y. Next, multiply each fraction by a factor of 1 that will create the LCD in each of the fractions. ]

limit (x²-1)/(x-1) = x+1.
Weegy: 5/7(x+y)-1/7(x-1)= 5x + 5y/7 - x - 1/7 = 5x - x + 5y - 1/7 = 4x + 5y - 1/7
