Procedural Rule for Subtracting Rational Binomials

A facilities manager is using the expression (y^2 / (y - 6)) - ((2y + 24) / (y - 6)) to compare the energy usage between two separate buildings. To combine these expressions into a single fraction correctly, what specific algebraic step must be performed on the second numerator, (2y + 24), to ensure the subtraction is applied to every term?
