Explanation:
#"to combine the fractions we require them to have a "#
#color(blue)"common denominator"#
#"the common denominator is "y(y-6)#
#"this means multiplying the numerator/denominator of"#
#3/y" by "(y-6)" and "2/(y-6)" by y"#
#rArr(3(y-6))/(y(y-6))+(2y)/(y(y+6))#
#"now simplify the numerator leaving the denominator"#
#=(3y-18+2y)/(y(y-6))=(5y-18)/(y(y-6))#
