An operations data analyst is simplifying a supply chain cost formula represented by the expression y25yy246y64y2\frac{y^2 - 5y}{y^2 - 4} - \frac{6y - 6}{4 - y^2}. To combine these fractions, the analyst recalls a key algebraic property: the denominators y24y^2 - 4 and 4y2{}4 - y^2 are ____, meaning they can achieve a common denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 1-1.
