Answer

$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{5y}+8}{\dfrac{3}{5y}-8}=\dfrac{40y+3}{3-40y}$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{5y}+8}{\dfrac{3}{5y}-8}$ Evaluate the sum indicated in the numerator and the substraction indicated in the denominator: $\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{5y}+8}{\dfrac{3}{5y}-8}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3+40y}{5y}}{\dfrac{3-40y}{5y}}=...$ Evaluate the division and simplify: $...=\dfrac{3+40y}{5y}\div\dfrac{3-40y}{5y}=\dfrac{5y(3+40y)}{5y(3-40y)}=\dfrac{40y+3}{3-40y}$
