Simplifying three algebraic fractions

Method
  • Simplify \( \frac{x}{x-y} - \frac{y}{x-y} \).
  • Simplify \( \frac{x}{x-y} - \frac{y}{x+y} \).
  • Simplify \( \frac{1}{a-b} - \frac{b}{a^2-b^2} \).
  • For each one, first check whether the denominators are the same or different.
  • Discuss the simplification process with your friends.
