\frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}-\frac{\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of y-1 and y+1 is \left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right). Multiply \frac{y+1}{y-1} times \frac{y+1}{y+1}. Multiply \frac{y-1}{y+1} times \frac{y-1}{y-1}.
\frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)-\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Since \frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)} and \frac{\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{y^{2}+y+y+1-y^{2}+y+y-1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)-\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right).
\frac{4y}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Combine like terms in y^{2}+y+y+1-y^{2}+y+y-1.
\frac{4y}{y^{2}-1}
Expand \left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right).
\frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}-\frac{\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of y-1 and y+1 is \left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right). Multiply \frac{y+1}{y-1} times \frac{y+1}{y+1}. Multiply \frac{y-1}{y+1} times \frac{y-1}{y-1}.
\frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)-\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Since \frac{\left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)} and \frac{\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{y^{2}+y+y+1-y^{2}+y+y-1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(y+1\right)\left(y+1\right)-\left(y-1\right)\left(y-1\right).
\frac{4y}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}
Combine like terms in y^{2}+y+y+1-y^{2}+y+y-1.
\frac{4y}{y^{2}-1}
Expand \left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right).
