Step 1.1

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$\frac{z}{1 - \frac{1}{\frac{y}{y} + \frac{z}{y}}}$

Step 1.2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{z}{1 - \frac{1}{\frac{y + z}{y}}}$

Step 2

Simplify the denominator.

Step 2.1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\frac{z}{1 - (1 \frac{y}{y + z})}$

Step 2.2

Multiply $\frac{y}{y + z}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{z}{1 - \frac{y}{y + z}}$

Step 2.3

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$\frac{z}{\frac{y + z}{y + z} - \frac{y}{y + z}}$

Step 2.4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{z}{\frac{y + z - y}{y + z}}$

Step 2.5

Rewrite $\frac{y + z - y}{y + z}$ in a factored form.

Step 2.5.1

Subtract $y$ from $y$ .

$\frac{z}{\frac{z + 0}{y + z}}$

Step 2.5.2

Add $z$ and $0$ .

$\frac{z}{\frac{z}{y + z}}$

Step 3

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$z \frac{y + z}{z}$
