Question
![**Task: Add and subtract the expressions with unlike denominators.**
\[
\frac{4y}{y^2 - 3y - 10} + \frac{y+1}{y-5} - \frac{2y-7}{y+2}
\]
To solve this, you need to find a common denominator for the three fractions. Once you have a common denominator, you can combine the fractions by performing the addition and subtraction operations.
Remember to factor the quadratic expression in the first denominator \(y^2 - 3y - 10\) to identify potential common factors. Consider factoring techniques and simplification steps to make calculations easier.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5b0597e7-a8c4-4734-b894-44b105c8693d%2Fa74a6880-3eca-4710-b4b0-df4fbadae9e1%2Foe127ii_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
