Find Common Denominator: First, find a common denominator for the fractions in the numerator, which is xy. So, we rewrite (x7) as (xy7y) and (y2) as (xy2x).
Add Fractions: Now, add the two fractions in the numerator: (xy7y)+(xy2x)=xy7y+2x.
Divide Numerator: Next, divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we're dividing by (1/xy), it's the same as multiplying by xy. So, (7y+2x)/(xy)×(xy/1)=(7y+2x).
Simplify Expression: Finally, we simplify the expression if possible. But since 7y+2x cannot be simplified further, that's our final answer.
