Asked by Jess
                How would you simplify this equation??
((1/x)-(1/y))/(y^2-x^2)
            
            
        ((1/x)-(1/y))/(y^2-x^2)

    This doesn't look like an equation.  There is no equal sign.

    you must mean "simplify"
((1/x)-(1/y))/(y^2-x^2)
= ( (y-x)/(xy) ) / ((y-x)(y+x) )
= (y-x)/( (xy)(y+x)(y-x) )
= 1/(xy(y+x) ) , y≠x
    
((1/x)-(1/y))/(y^2-x^2)
= ( (y-x)/(xy) ) / ((y-x)(y+x) )
= (y-x)/( (xy)(y+x)(y-x) )
= 1/(xy(y+x) ) , y≠x

    Oops, I left the equal sign out!
The problem would actually be:
((1/x)-(1/y))/(y^2-x^2)= ____
