-$$\frac { y ^ { 2 } + 5 y } { y ^ { 2 } + 6 y }$$
A) $\frac { y ^ { 2 } + 5 y } { y + 6 }$
B) $\frac { 7 y + 10 } { 8 y + 12 }$
C) $\frac { y + 5 } { y ^ { 2 } + 6 y }$
D) $\frac { y + 5 } { y + 6 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression can be simplified by factoring out a common factor of $y$ from both the numerator and the denominator. In the numerator, $y^2 + 5y$ can be factored as $y(y + 5)$. In the denominator, $y^2 + 6y$ can be factored as $y(y + 6)$. This simplifies to $\frac{y + 5}{y + 6}$, which matches option D.

Simplify - y2+5yy2+6y\frac { y ^ { 2 } + 5 y } { y ^ { 2 } + 6 y }y2+6yy2+5y​
