Question

x+y/xy^2 plus 3x+y/x^2y
*equation below

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x+y }{ xy^2 }+\frac{ 3x+y }{ x^2y}\]

Answer 2

to simplify this, start by putting both fractions under the same denominator which is (xy)^2

Answer 3

\[\frac{ x^2(x+y) }{ x^2y^2 }+\frac{ y^2(3x+y) }{ x^2y^2 }\]

Answer 4

There's only one 'x' and 'y' outside the fraction as you're multiplying both numerator and denominator by 'x'/'y'

\[\frac{ x(x+y) }{ x^2y^2 }+\frac{ y(3x+y) }{x^2y^2 }\]

Answer 5

Then combine both fractions under one common denominator :)

Answer 6

oh, ok so would it be\[\frac{ x^2+4xy+y^2 }{ x^2y^2 }\]

Answer 7

right!
