Step 1

Cancel the common factors.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Factor $3$ out of $- 3 y$ .

$\frac{3 (y^{2})}{3 (- y)}$

Step 1.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y^{2}}{3 (- y)}$

Step 1.3

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{y^{2}}{- y}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $y^{2}$ and $y$ .

Tap for more steps...

Step 2.1

Factor $y$ out of $y^{2}$ .

$\frac{y \cdot y}{- y}$

Step 2.2

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{y}{- 1}$ .

$- 1 \cdot y$

Step 3

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot y$ as $- y$ .

$- y$
